We had this argument, Wicked and Lizzy and I, about:
what is stronger in a dog: the sense of smell or the sight?
Wicked and I are sight dogs of course, but we also have good noses.
Lizzy is a sniffin’ dog. She won’t see much beyond the next tree.
A big scandal concerning police dogs in our area started the argument. It’s headline news today.
For many years police dogs have cheated in criminal cases. Or their police-humans have.
Evidence was manipulated, dogs were told what smells and suspects they should match. And they did.
Maybe innocent humans are behind bars because of this. It’s an outrage,
not good for the reputation of working dogs!
So I told Lizzy: these police dogs should do more than sniff, they should look and see!
Lizzy didn’t agree. She never does… very irritating!
Have a fab Friday anyway,
