Search Dogs Fail to Track in 1500 Missing Person Cases, Defying Normal Canine Behavior

What was said
"I can't ever remember us looking for someone with a dog and the dog didn't find the person. I have 1,200 to 1,500 cases where they bring a canine to find a missing person and the dog can't track, won't track, or turns around, comes down and sits down and is not interested in tracking. That's totally outside the behavior of a dog."
David Paulides, a former SWAT officer with canine experience, documented over 1,200 cases where trained search dogs refused to track or lost scent trails in missing person investigations. He argues this behavior is anomalous and suggests victims were not present during searches, only placed later. Many cases involved people found in previously searched areas.
