What I am not convinced about is Grime saying Eddie can pick up the scent of death shortly after death has occurred.
How can he know this when scientists who are investigating what cadaver dogs smell, haven't come up with an actual time span between death and the scent the dogs will pick up?
Perhaps he established it during his training of them. Perhaps scientists have not set up such a study.
As for what Mr Grime means by roadkill, ie dead animals, to me this means Eddie did not react to any other dead animal seeing as he was trained on pigs and humans, other dead animals having a different scent and he was trained to exclude all other scents
Devilsadvocate, of course, if you think he makes it up as he goes along, thats your prerogative, would seem a pretty poor strategy to me if he were out to deceive or exaggerate
It would call into question the Law Enforcement Agencies who routuinely paid Mr Grime and his dogs ĢI,000 a day plus expenses out of public money
I guess the professionals must have been considerably more impressed with his results than some of the self proclaimed experts here
ditto
The only thing that might convince me that the cadaver dog alerts in 5a had nothing to do with Madeleines disappearance was a post by Angelo IIRC ie that that flat had dozens of people going through it, unlike all the other places and one of them could have transferred this scent...a common sense possibility is worth far more than the constant trashing of the dogs mr grime mr amaral and others and bleats like eddie alerted to a coconut, which is the most pathetic thing ever uttered for obvious reasons such as eddie does not alert to coconut and also the so called coconut shell had collagen in it which only exists in mammals
Then again does scent transference last as much as original scent? Questions questions
Anyone debasing dog handlers doing a job to help find criminals and get closure for families should have a look in the mirror and realise what they are saying when they are accusing them of fraud
I hope all the accusers and debasers of dogs abilities ans their handlers never have to have them used
