Weather is a factor!!! It's clear and 80 degrees here???
Can't believe Dallas doesn't have any 'cadaver' dogs...if they don't, they know where to get them. The only thing more outrageous than this crime, jmo, is the fact that LE is willing to leave Johnathan out there one more day.
more details...he was left from March until August in that bedroom until he was unresponsive and then dumped

(sorry Summer, know this thread is for info & prayers only but there isn't a discussion thread posted and this just begs for more)
At this time of year, dogs are more affected by heat than they are later in the summer when they've acclimated to the temps. If the terrain is rough, that magnifies the effect of temperature.
HRD dogs are very highly motivated, high drive dogs. They don't always pay attention to what their own bodies are telling them when they are searching. It's not unusual for a trained dog to come back with cut feet or other wounds that the dog never noticed while concentrating on doing its job. It's only when the day is done that the dog suddenly realises "Oooo, ow, I gotta owie!"
It would only add to the tragedy to have a dog die of heat stroke while searching for remains.
As a dog trainer, I can't imagine the depths of guilt I would feel if I let one of my dogs die of heat stroke while working.
Poor Johnathon is in a place that is beyond pain and, I believe, beyond needing or caring about his earthly remains.
