Re : Fred West
It appears they've found some areas beneath the cafe floor. They drilled some holes and a cadaver dog has "indicated". They put an endoscopic camera into one of the areas and there appears to be something blue down there. The missing girl in question was wearing a blue coat with a blue bag when she went missing.
How many are there ?!
Very sad, what a sick pair he & his wife were.

Meet the dogs that can sniff out Covid-19
(24 May 2021)Asher may just look like a cute cuddly dog but he is much more than that.
He, along with some of his canine friends, have been trained to sniff out Covid-19 in people and the initial results show they can do it very reliably.
This is because a research team, involving Durham, has found that Covid-19 has a very distinct odour – which we as humans can’t smell – but the dogs’ super sniffing powers can detect it with up to 94 per cent accuracy.
Powerful noses
The study, which is not yet peer-reviewed, is the most extensive of its kind to date using over 3,500 odour samples donated by the public and NHS staff. It involved training dogs to distinguish between infected and uninfected people alongside odour analysis and modelling.
The dogs were able to detect odour from individuals with Covid-19 regardless of whether they had symptoms or not, as well as those with two different strains, and with both high and low viral loads.
Although the dogs were trained in a trial setting and more work is needed to transfer the method to real-world locations, the preliminary results show that specially trained dogs can rapidly, non-invasively sniff out Covid-19.
The study is a collaboration between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Medical Detection Dogs and Durham University.
Rapid screening
In addition to the dogs training, the team also carried out mathematical modelling to assess the effectiveness of using dogs as a Covid screening method. This modelling shows the potential for dogs to be used at ports of entry such as airports, estimating that two dogs could screen 300 plane passengers in around 30 minutes as part of a ‘Rapid Screen and Test’ strategy.
Use of the bio detection dogs plus a confirmatory PCR test are estimated to detect more than twice as many cases and prevent more onward transmission than isolating symptomatic individuals only.
Super sniffers
The dogs were trained to identify Covid-19 using body odour samples from masks, socks and t-shirts, with 3,758 samples sent in.
The study also included a crucial so-called double-blind trial where the dog, technician and dog trainer were not aware which samples were positive or negative, removing any risk of inadvertent bias or cues.
The team now hopes to move on to the next phase of the trial which will involve the dogs detecting Covid-19 directly on people in real-world settings such as airports.

Digby the firefighters' therapy dog saves a suicidal woman's life by tempting her back from a motorway bridge to pet him
A fire service dog has helped to save the life of a suicidal young woman.
Labradoodle Digby who works as a therapy dog with fire crews from Devon and Somerset, came to the aid of the woman, who was standing on a bridge over the M5 near Exeter on Tuesday.
A fire service spokesman said: 'One of the fire crews had the idea to bring along Digby, our 'defusing' dog.
Labradoodle Digby (pictured), who works as a therapy dog with fire crews from Devon and Somerset, helped to save the life of a suicidal young woman on Tuesday
'When Digby arrived, the young woman immediately swung her head round to look and smiled.
'This got a conversation started about Digby and his role at the fire service.
'She was asked if she would like to come and meet Digby if she came back over the railings, which we are pleased to say she did.'
Digby's actions won praise from social media users.

One said: 'Dogs are amazing, they can sometimes do what humans just aren't able to. Well done to all concerned.'
Another wrote: 'Well done Digby.
'Cockapoos can be very intuitive and gave the face and eyes that, in my opinion, show that they want to be friends to help to listen and to play.'
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said it wishes the woman all the best in her recovery.

Mersey Police Dogs on Twitter “A late but well deserved well done for PD Dudley & his handler who sniffed out over 15kgs of drugs hidden in an address recently. For operational reasons we had to hold off with this update but think it's more than worthy of a late pat on the back for such a significant find!” twitter.com |

What nobody tells you about living with a randy dog
Boris Johnson sounds exasperated by his relentlessly randy pooch, Dilyn – an issue that Gavin Newsham knows all too well...
By
Gavin Newsham

[Which one is the randy dog?]
You have to feel for Boris Johnson. The last thing any prime minister needs while trying to wrestle down a global pandemic is your randy pet dog rampaging around the workplace, imposing his “romantic urges” on anything that moves – or, for that matter, anything that doesn’t. “My dog is endless … on people’s legs,” the weary PM told officers at Surrey Police’s canine unit in Guildford, on Tuesday.
Humping, or mounting, is a common behavioural problem with dogs that many owners will be well aware of – as I’ve just discovered. Yes, we’re having a similar struggle with our own nine-month-old cavapoo, Wilbur, who, almost overnight, has gone from soft, cuddly and compliant to a rebel without a cause, regardless of the consequences. Just yesterday, he wandered into my son’s bedroom, stole his dental retainer from the bedside table and chewed it into an unrecognisable mess. That will cost £80 to replace.
But, like the Prime Minister’s Jack Russell-cross, Dilyn, it’s the humping that’s most concerning (and embarrassing). Yes, Wilbur is at an age where he’s suddenly succumbing to those urges that teenagers get. Until recently, he wasn’t a problem and his recall response was excellent. Now, though, whenever he sees another dog, even hundreds of yards away, there is nothing you can do or say to stop him from running over and introducing himself in an over-familiar way.
He doesn’t discriminate either: boys, girls, dogs, cats, soft toys, human legs – he’ll try his luck with anything. Friends of ours have Wilbur’s brother from the same litter, and whenever they see each other, he’ll try to hump him as well.
But it’s a habit that needs addressing, says Graeme Hall, a professional dog trainer best known for his work on the Channel 5 programme Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly. “If you’re not going to breed from him, consider neutering,” says the man dubbed “The Dogfather”. “If you leave it for too long, he might form a habit that’s still there even if you take away the root cause, so to speak.”
Who knows if, or when, Dilyn – now two – had the snip, but contrary to popular belief, humping isn’t just a behaviour unneutered male dogs engage in. Those that have been “done” can still do it and even females are known to try.
Life was quieter for Gavin, his wife - and their labradoodle Nell - when Wilbur was a puppy CREDIT: Christopher Pledger
Not that it was ever like this with our other dog, Nell, a labradoodle. She’s nearly 10 now (mid-50s in human years) and has enjoyed a life of peace and tranquility, right up to the point where Wilbur came in like a wrecking ball. She just wants an easy life. Instead, she now lies in her bed, staring forlornly into the distance as this tiny curly demon thrusts away on her.
Kenny the cat is suffering too. From the moment Wilbur wakes up, he will follow Kenny around the house trying to either leap on his back and ride him, nibble his tail or, and there’s really no other way of saying this I’m afraid, lick his bottom.
It’s not the only disgusting behaviour in Wilbur’s repertoire. While he rarely does his business in the house anymore, he now has a habit of waiting for Nell to do hers, before eating it. It’s called “coprophagia”, apparently, it’s quite common and is something he will grow out of (we hope). The only positives about his putrid predilection is that a) it’s better for the environment than using bags, and b) it saves me from picking it up. It’s not so nice when, in a rare display of affection, he licks my face soon after.
Butter wouldn't melt but Wilbur isn't as innocent as he looks
Meanwhile, the humping just gets more regular and vigorous. But as Louise Glazebrook, dog behaviourist and trainer on the BBC2 series 12 Puppies and Us, explains, it is not always a sexualised behaviour. “I find it’s more about feeling overwhelmed, feeling insecure in certain situations and not knowing how to handle it,” she says. “Repetitive behaviours like humping can help a dog to channel the uncertain energy and it can provide a feeling of calmness eventually.”
Hall agrees. “Humping usually happens when dogs get excited in other ways, so keeping them calmer when meeting people and other dogs is the best approach,” he says. The best method of tackling it is to plan ahead and head off any possible encounters before it’s too late. Think treats and distractions and, says Glazebrook – and trying to understand why the behaviour is taking place in the first instance. “Owners should think about changing the situations their dog is being put in,” she adds. “Sometimes, it can just be too much for them.”

Saving Hope Foundation
After losing his parents, Roscoe, a 3 year old orangutan, was so depressed he wouldn't eat and didn't respond to medical treatment. The vets thought he may die from sadness.
The zoo keepers found an old sick dog on the grounds in the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to the animal treatment center.
The dog arrived at the same time the orangutan was there being treated...
The two lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since.
The orangutan found a new reason to live and each of them always tries his best to be a good companion to his new found friend.
They are together 24 hours a day in all their activities.
They live in Northern California where swimming is their favorite past time.
Although Roscoe (the orangutan) is a little afraid of the water and needs his friend's help to swim.
Together they have discovered the joy and laughter in life and the value of friendship.
