I think it highly amusing that others criticise a poll which offers a full range of options in a scientific way and this one then appears.

The option that there should be no confusion is not there.

It was Martin Grime who gave us the clearest indication of the dogs' abilities. He said that their alerts were not evidential without forensic corroboration. So I believe that this option is missing from your poll...

• I am not confused. I know that dogs (both trained and untrained) will alert to many things but I know those alerts are not evidential without corroboration.

That option has one vote. Mine.
