They are part of the body's defense system. Not only do they fight both viral and bacterial infections, they also are a very important part of the immune system in that they manufacture antibodies that prevent infections as well.

∙ 14y agoYes, dogs have lymph nodes--as do all, mammals. I'm not absolutely sure that most animals (reptiles and fish included), don't all have lymph nodes, but your question was about dogs. Being that the lymph nodes are necessary, as part of the infection fighting system of a mammal. Blood gets filtered through the lymph node, and some of the infectious stuff gets destroyed. Check out this page: http://www.peteducation.com/dict_alpha_listing.cfm?cls=0#L Scroll down to Lymph Node, and see the definition. Also, just as in humans, dogs can get cancer of the lymph node. I have no idea how common the disease is in dogs, you would need further research. For a site which discusses lymph nodes problems and dogs, see this site: http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dlymph.html
