As I recall, there were both kinds of dogs. And the "hit" you are referring to was the one reported (3 weeks later in a "confidential" email to another person) by a volunteer dog handler, who, for some reason which he has not fully explained, neglected at the time to report the alleged "hit." A sheriff's deputy who was present and was watching the search says the dog did not "hit."
I find it astounding that you think that dog-handler guy's testimony was at all credible.
OMG, that dog handler! Frazee! He did so much damage and Dusek had the gall to bring him back!!! IDIOT??
A sheriff's deputy who was present and was watching the search says the dog did not "hit." Not according to papers filed by the prosecution with the court.
Sorry for the delay in responding. I was offline and will be again so just popped in for a second.
