During 16 hours of police questioning over two days, says Philomena McCann, "Kate was repeatedly shown the sniffer dog video." Kate McCann reportedly explained to police that, as a GP, she came in contact with six bodies shortly before leaving for Portugal. As a senior Scotland Yard investigator points out, cadaver dogs can't tell one corpse from another and have little value in tying a suspect to a specific body. "Dogs can sniff out death," he says. "However, you can't ask a dog to stand up in court and give evidence."

Philomena - ( Gosh what a name ) , is right of course , one cannot ask a dog to stand up in court and give evidence .

However Phil , if you happen to read this take note , records of the canine teams reliability , the type and amount of training the team have experienced before and after certification may be used as admissable evidence.

All Britsh police dogs must be licenced to work operationally and to obtain this licence they have to pass tests at the completion of their training and again every year . The standards required to become operational are all laid down by the ACPO and are reviewed regularly to ensure training and licencing reflect the most appropriate methods and standards. Oh and confirmed operational outcomes can be used as a factor in determining capability .
