This would have been nothing if the 2 separate cadaver dogs didn't find something. Why did both dogs get it wrong?[/quote]

K9s have a fairly high false positive rate especially when they think their handler may want them to alert/they have been reinforced for alerting before in a scenario they find familiar. They are dogs, and they are a tool. They can be helpful for locating things, following a trail, give some indication sometimes but they are extremely variable. The process also relies on humans to interpret their alerts which has a margin of error.

In this case it’s just the screening tool the responding agency had to justify using considerable resources on a more complex operation.

I am neutral on law enforcement (it’s obviously necessary in society), but I do think most K9 activity doesn’t have a lot of evidence and many times could be replaced with better tools in 2024. So I do think it’s worth discussing. I don’t blame individual K9 handlers who are doing their job and following their agency policy. [/quote]

It would be interesting to know what the two dogs actually tracked. Two dogs sent out at separate times went to the same spot in the yard. [/quote]

Dog two would know where dog one went. Maybe dog two followed the scent path of dog one.
