Watson is dog handler. Yvonne, the dog, trained with atf. She's retired now. He still has her.

 

[SuziQ]

He responded to RR tracks because of ATF agent request to work a scene.

 

[SuziQ]

Met with LE walked over to the scene. Make sure it's safe for him and canine. He cleared area and work scene. Explaining what accelerant is.

Watson is dog handler. Yvonne, the dog, trained with atf. She's retired now. He still has her.

You could hear his affection for her in his voice.

 

[SuziQ]

I want to see Yvonne. I think she should testify..... However, Trant my try to throw up to her something in her past.

Gosh, maybe she stole a cats catnip or stole someone's sock.

 

[SuziQ]

She alerted in two different areas. She would sit, look and point and gets a treat. Took her back to vehicle and secured her. Took his equipment back to scene and collected samples.

 

[SuziQ]

Talking evidence....
