Did you ever come across the story that explained the alerts by claiming KM had attended several PMs before the holiday?
The only explanation I recall you discussing was Grime encouraging false alerts (maybe even subconsciously). This makes no sense to me. Why would Grime undermine the dog’s credibility?
Yes I have come across that myth. And NO Kate never made any such claim.
The first time it appeared in print emanated from a pal of Amaral's who wrote as follows ...
From Maddie 129:
There are allegations the dogs detected cadaver odors on Kate's jeans and Cuddlecat.
The odor on jeans is justified by Kate by saying she was in contact with six cadavers before she left her 2 day per week job in a general clinic in Leicester.

From Estrela de Madeleine:On the tv monitor, Eddie can be seen sniffing over Kate's clothing and marking that it had been in contact with a cadaver. The reactions of the dogs in the vehicle that had been used by Madeleine's parents can also be seen.
At the medical center where I work, in England, before we came on holidays, people died whom I had been in contact with... you must be forgetting that I am a doctor...
- Yes you are - João Tavares replies - and the death rate at the medical center where you work twice a week is extremely high...
- It's true - the arguida replies.
