Have the dog alerts any significance?

[Robittybob1]

Eddie did not alert to the odour of bacon or pork. That's a ridiculous suggestion.

I agree.

I agree.

Why?

He was trained on dead pig.   NOT on human bodies.

And Grime, himself, says that he alerts to it.

In training the dog has accurately alerted to a 1 cm cube of pork soaked in
petrol for 1 week and then burnt until only a residue remains

Why is it ridiculous ?

There is a big difference to rotten pig meat to fresh pork or cured pig meat products.

The following comment from MG would seem to contradict that.

So humans being searched for, by cadaver dogs, in big fires would have to have died and rotted before they were consumed by the flames?  Otherwise the cadaver dogs wouldn't find them?

I think not

Sadie - in that link are these words "These highly trained cadaver dogs, use their strong noses to sniff out any sign of human decomposition before alerting their handlers"
Even burned bodies will decompose.

Obviously he should have said...

petrol for 1 week and then burnt until only a residue remains.

Whatever the ins and outs of the 1 cubic centimetre of pork, Grime clearly states Eddie does not alert to cooked bacon or sausages. Suggesting that he did is ridiculous; he would be useless unless the police were peckish.

Cured meats.  Dogs trained on pork (as Eddie was!) won't react to cured meats.

But plain pork!

Of course Eddie would (have) reacted to that.

Why? He was trained using decomposing pig remains, so would not alert to fresh pork.

Pork is dead pigs.

[slartibartfast]

Pork is dead pigs.

Pork is the meat of a dead pig which is prevented from decomposing before cooking.

Some meats are cured; other meats are uncured.

pork decomposes...thats why it has to be kept in the fridge

[Robittybob1]

Badly kept pork is a possible source of confusion for a cadaver dog in a house I suppose, unless Grime had a training technique to prevent that and I think he did, by later using only human cadaver body parts in training which gave the dogs the title "enhanced victim recovery dogs (EVRD).
