Is it difficult to train such dogs?
I thought each province has their own ones.

I'm not sure, I'd guess it's probably expensive, and the handlers also need specialist training. I actually don't know if there are any in Alberta, there may well be. It seems NS don't have any, apparently they would have brought in a dog from PEI for the Sullivan case but that dog is currently injured. I'm not sure how bringing dogs out from BC ended up being the best option for them, I would've thought there'd at least be some in Ontario

I know neurotypical children can go missing in terrains like this but as a mother to an autistic child I often question why anyone would bring an autistic non verbal young child of darius's age to camp in a place like this . They are already vulnerable and while I understand you have to expose them to the same things you would with a non autistic child . I do question the logic

Praying he is found but its not looking like he will be found alive unfortunately

Agree totally I questioned the same thing on the Nora Quorin case really sorry but IMO it’s just asking for trouble going to remote/water/dense/high places

I followed this case too and can't fathom the circumstances surrounding this . Apparently her body looked like it was laid out rather than succumbing to the elements and physical issues.

I get there is always a first time for everything a child does but l do think there is a crime here , whether it happened after she wandered or someone had a hand in removing her from the apartment I can't decide . I really feel for her folks but yeah why bring a child with such complex needs to a complex place

Was he found

Not that I've seen. Just LE stating he is now presumed deceased due to the amount of time that's past MOO
