In a perfect world, I wouldn't want agree with this post, but in reality, maybe it was a lot cheaper and just as efficient to put cadaver dogs through the area in and around the dumpsters, than it is to physically search the landfill inch by inch? It took over a month to bring cadaver dogs into some of the POI apartments. I know from BPD website they have one canine unit and it may take time for them to have access to cadaver dogs. Remember, cadaver dogs can hit on the scent of decomposition from quite a distance away and there are many accounts of cadaver dogs hitting on scents months after a death has occurred. I even found one article where cadaver dogs hit on the remains of pilots in a WWII bomber crash, 63 YEARS LATER!!!

Rhea, Remie, Maya, Osara, Jack, Annika, Tali and Shiloh, are only eight of twelve dogs in the world that are especially and uniquely trained in historical human remains detection. During their time at the aircraft crash site, they displayed their amazing skills by alerting their handlers to numerous locations at the aircraft crash site that contained the human remains and other personal effects of the pilot and the gunner.
