The concerns come as the Bristol County Sheriff's Department says it has a new tool in the fight against COVID-19: specially trained K-9s that can sniff out traces of the coronavirus.
Dogs have been used for years to look for drugs, chemicals and missing people. Using them as virus-hunters is relatively new. In fact -- no other police agency has tried it before.
A 9-month-old dog named Duke enters a room at the Bristol County Sheriff's Department. Duke's handler leads him past a refrigerator where a fragment of a face mask worn by a COVID-19 patient has been hidden in the door. After one pass and then a second, Duke sits, a signal that he has detected the smell of the coronavirus.
“With body language and the way he acts and how he breathes, I can tell he's actually hitting,” said Officer Theodore Santos, Bristol County Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's department said it spent nine weeks and about $5,000 to $7,000 training Duke and another dog named Huntah based on a program developed by the Florida International University which says its dogs are 90 percent effective at detecting the virus.
“I contacted the captain and said, 'let's get ahold of them down in Florida International University.' He did. They were very interested. We're the first law enforcement agency in the country to do this. And we're very proud of that,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson.
Earlier this year, COVID-19-sniffing dogs were used to screen fans entering a Miami Heat basketball game. The sheriff's department says its dogs will not sniff people but rather places, such as the county jail which will then receive a thorough cleaning if COVID-19 is detected.

It’s a scam to Covid 19 has a smell.
A lawyer should ask what scientific evidence does the Sheriff have that backs this up?
Who trained his dogs, and where did the trainer get this “smell”?
Did someone ship Covid 19 to him? If so, then he got scammed because scientists have not been able to isolate and identify Covid 19. This is why so many PCR tests are false positives.
This entire “pandemic” is based on a theory that scientists cannot even identify and say this is Covid 19. Now they can identify cancer, HIV, but not Covid 19.
There is no live or dead Covid 19 virus in the mRNA gene therapies. All they are doing is alternating peoples genetics all based on a theory.
How does the dog trainer store the Covid 19 smell for training?
My B.S. radar is going off BIG TIME.
Imagine the pride the first SS troops must have felt as they donned their Hugo Boss uniforms and pinned on the double lightning bolt pins for the first time!
Will they be using them to round up people for “camps”?
