I understand the police trying to use every tool at their disposal and even though the dogs were for the most part useless in this case it does look better in the public eye. Jmho
I looked at the news clips and looks like they had civilian search and rescue dogs along with police "tracking" dogs. I honestly think it was just a lack of knowledge on the news organizations part to call them that. In the heavily wooded areas that they were searching, I think a dog that can alert to human scent could still be of value.
Thanks for all the replies.
I was curious to see what informed opinion would be regarding the claim that Hannah's presence was confirmed by the dog, and that a track was started and followed for a distance.
Four days after her disappearance, a period of hot dry weather, in an urban area, over pavement.
