Some dogs are trained with Pseudoscents

Decades ago, I invited the State Police to participate in a *doggie* promotion ...they brought a cadaver dog to demonstrate to the crowd. The K-9 handler told me that they used a human finger [put in a tennis ball] from a *donated for research* body of a homeless guy. In the demo the cop hid the tennis ball ... far, far away ... dog found it in under a minute. Most often *the public* objects to them using human remains ... I understand dogs trained on *Pseudoscents* don't respond the same way to those dogs trained with the *real deal.* I'd be happy to be corrected on this. ;)

Thanks for the information. What the coronor did was creepy, but maybe it’s SOP.

I would suspect that is probably the case.

Like “synthahol” on Star Trek.
