Well, she obviously believes that SY/Met, politicians, the complete UK press and madia, are STOOPID idiots to take her words at face value!

She's the only one to shout 'abduction'

THEY all 'believe' her, NO questions asked!

Brazen?

delusional I would say.

look at Gerry's comment:

GM “I can tell you that we’ve also looked at evidence about cadaver dogs and they’re incredibly unreliable”.

As if his opinion is worth anything. But they believe it is, and so do their followers.
Sick the whole bunch.

Let's hope none of their 'supporters' kids goes missing!

And there are no dogs 'available' to find them!

I'm pretty certain that if a McCann 'supporter's' child went 'missing' they'd be the first ones to demand the unreliable dogs are brought in to try to find the child!

"Every time I read these independent statements in the files (and neither could have been influenced by the other, remember – Jane's description had not been released to the public before the Irish witnesses made their statements), I am staggered by how alike they are, almost identical in parts." KM's book (p. 328)

If I were in KM's situation and I believed in the possiblity of Tannerman and Smithman being one and the same, I think I would have spent a lot of time trying to discover exactly where this man had been during the 45 minutes between the two sightings.

"Who knows why there was a forty-five-minute gap between the two sightings, or where this man might have been in between? I long ago stopped trying to come up with answers because I don't think I need to. If the child was Madeleine – and in four years, no father has ever come forward to say it was him and his daughter – why would we assume he would be behaving normally or logically?" KM's book (p. 328-9)

Instead of the above quote, I would expect the answer to that missing 45 minutes to be one of the things a parent of a missing child would most want to know

JJ to the rescue! Little girl's dog is allowed into the operating room DURING surgery to alert doctors of life-threatening allergic reaction

Kaelyn Krawczyk, aged seven, has a rare illness called mastocytosis which causes dangerous allergy-like symptoms to occur without warning
Her pet terrier, JJ, is trained to detect oncoming attacks
On Wednesday during surgery, the dog got up and turned circles as anesthetic was administered - a minor alert - and then sat back down
The dog did not wear a special outfit for the occasion but was bathed the night before

A North Carolina hospital took the groundbreaking decision to let a dog into the operating theater yesterday as it's seven-year-old owner underwent life-saving surgery.

First-grader Kaelyn Krawczyk has a rare illness called mastocytosis which causes dangerous allergy-like symptoms - such as hives, swelling, nausea and shortness of breath - to occur without warning.

Her pet terrier, JJ, is trained to detect oncoming attacks and on Wednesday when she was operated on at the Duke University Medical Center the fluffy pooch acted as an 'additional monitor' for medics.

A girl's best friend: Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina decided to let JJ the dog into the operating theater yesterday as it's seven-year-old owner, Kaelyn Krawczyk, underwent life-saving surgery

Turning in circles indicates a mild reaction while barking shows the situation has become more urgent. Resreachers believe that medical response dogs such as JJ, can detect subtle changes in body chemistry or behavior in their owner.

Anesthetist, Dr. Brad Taicher, told the Charlotte Observer: 'It was kind of logical, actually. Knowing what JJ could do, we realized that [she] was not much different from other monitors we use.'

While JJ couldn’t be allowed into a sterile operating room, she could go into a less strict procedure zone. She was given a thorough bath on Tuesday evening in preparation for her hospital visit.

The purpose of Wednesday's 45-minute-long operation was to look for a cause of Kaelyn's recurring kidney infections, which, if left untreated, could prove fatal.

Early Wednesday, JJ followed the youngster into the surgery and sat on the floor next to her bed.

Dr Taicher says anesthesia can, in rare cases, cause an allergic reaction in patients, so he watched for any signs from JJ as the sedative was administered to Kaelyn.

Though the monitors showed no change in her vital signs, JJ got up and turned circles as her body felt the effects of the drug - a minor alert - and then sat back down.

Dr. Sherry Ross, who performed Kaelyn's surgery said the injection of a 'test dye' during the procedure could have also triggered a reaction. But, again, no problems occurred.

The only other instance JJ stirred was as Kaelyn was brought out of sedation, and she turned a couple of circles again.

'Knowing what JJ the dog could do, we realized that she was not much different from other monitors we use'

'It was just as we expected,' Dt Taicher said. 'If we had had a script, she followed it to a tee.'

Although service dogs are used in many medical instances, including detecting blood-sugar fluctuations in diabetics and seizures in people with epilepsy, Dr Taicher said he was impressed with JJ’s abilities.

'It sounds silly, in this age of technology, when we have millions of dollars’ worth of equipment beeping around me, that we had a little dog who was more sensitive than all the machines,' he said.

Since JJ became Kaelyn’s service dog 18 months ago, she has exceeded the hopes of even her trainer, Deb Cunningham at Eyes Ears Nose and Paws in Carrboro.

Ms Cunningham knew it was possible to train a dog to help when a person goes into medical distress but she wasn’t sure a dog could learn to alert someone of something happening at a cellular level before the person even shows signs of a problem.

Grateful: Kaelyn's mother, Michelle, says JJ makes life a lot easier

In 2012, Ms Cunningham trained JJ, a who was rescued from an animal shelter, about how to react to Kaelyn's condition.

Previously the infant from Apex, North Carolina, experienced three to four severe reactions a year but since JJ entered her life there has been only one.

That’s because JJ alerts before the reaction progresses, giving Kaelyn’s parents time to take action.
Her mother, Michelle, says the dog often senses a problem before Kaelyn shows any symptoms or says that she's feeling unwell.

'JJ has made it possible for us to give out daughter a more normal life'

As well as signaling that there is some wrong, JJ can also go to a cabinet at the family’s home and fetch a kit containing an EpiPen in preparation.

If the Krawczyk’s are away from home traveling, she knows to go to Michelle’s purse and get the kit.

'JJ has made it possible for us to give [Kaelyn] a more normal life,' Michelle said. Meanwhile her daughter calls JJ 'very beautiful and smart' and at 'the top of my love list.'

Kaelyn is currently recovering from yesterday's procedure. It is very unusual to have a dog present in a hospital operation room.

Indeed, Dr. Timothy E. Smith, an associate professor of pediatric anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina told Today.com that he had never heard of such a case.

So sniffer dogs are unreliable are they gerry?

Rell that to anyone who has been rescued by one, who has been saved by their dog detecting diseases or warning when something is about to happen such as a fit or collapse etc.

Perhaps sniffer dogs are entirely reliable unless they indicate something to do with you.and kate
