Yes, the dog search at DW's was used in the affidavit to obtain a warrant for DW's house.
The affidavit states the dog was very interested in a part of the garage, though the handler didn't say it was an "alert". Twice the dog returned to the area and was interested (or some such term).
As to the MH, I would think a search dog was used *inside* the MH, but the only thing I've found so far is in the same affidavit the search dogs (not cadaver) sniffed around the *exterior* of the MH and did not hit.
I'm looking for an official account of the search dog going in the MH.
