The officers also tried to warn residents that a police dog named Loki was present, but their attempts to do so in Spanish were nonsensical, according to court records.

“Pedo policía pedo la madera,” officers repeatedly said, which a translator later found meant, “Fart police, fart the wood.”

Eventually, the officers entered the home and arrested the man they were looking for. After that man’s arrest, the officers entered the bedroom where Guerrero-Salmeron was and commanded the police dog to bite the man. The dog bit Guerrero-Salmeron, who was unarmed, on the arm for about 15 seconds as he held up his tourist visa and ID.

    Sniffing dogs are useful for more than just drugs/explosives, they can be used to help find lost/missing/kidnapped people and find buried bodies.

        Well thats pretty cool, but also a far way off from tracking something.

        You train a bee to smell a person who was lost on a mountain and they’ll be like oh ya, they were here, this spot is great give me my sugar, instead of tracking them and leading you 20km away.

          Crazy how you both learned about something and became an expert at it at the same time…

          So I’m just gonna block you now, because you’re going to keep making assumptions and thinking they’re correct until someone explains it. And then just repeating the process.

          Any exchange with you would just be pointless.

            lol okay dude. The article didn’t make any mention of being able to have them follow something, just find something. Sniffing dogs need to follow something. (edit: and they are trained to follow it as they keep finding it while also being led on by the handlers as needed)

              I’ve had givessomefucks tagged as “confidently incorrect” for years. It’s kinda their thing.

                Well then, I must have really hit a nerve to get immediately blocked if he actually blocked me 🤣
