[Dailydrool] Lost dog

[Beverly Szaton]

By all means try Dan at finding his friend!! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE!! Take
himto the last place the deerhound was spotted,give him something to smell
that reeks of Deerhound-- a blankie, a bed, a toy-- anything,and see what he
does. At the worse he will watch birds. At the best....you may at least end
up with some idea of the direction to take.

I used an untrained,completely tracking-innocent Basset to find a cat he had
known for maybe two days. He was right on. Took him about 5 minutes. (Kitty
had not gone far and we had walked past him maybe 30 times, weeping and
calling)

These guys are amazing. This is what they are bred to do and often the
instinct kicks in without training.
