    I apologise for the confusion about the lakes dimensions. It was a genuine mistake by the narrator. Castlewellan Lake is in Co Down and is approx 1 mile long and in places approx half a mile wide. Fern , who is now 17 years old and retired, has located 14 bodies in water, so yes, dogs are amazing.

      No, dowsing rods use spiritism to try to locate water. This dog is using physical powers of scent to track the meat THROUGH water. Very different. Also, the dog was watching the water, not her trainer.

    First think about the laws of physics. How do the molecules of meat succeed in rising vertically through all the water so that they sit directly on top of the can that they came out of? Then think about the dog's relationship to its handler - who is there in the boat instructing the guy with the tiller and who was the one who put the can of meat into the lake in the first place.

    • @spitfiremj10
      @spitfiremj10 9 лет назад

      +Clive Wynne I work with organisations that train detection dogs all around the world and agree that it would have been a much better demonstration if the location of the can of meat was totally unknown to the handler. But remember that this was only a demonstration to show how good a dogs nose is. Clever Hans springs to mind

  • @24DaniS24
    @24DaniS24 Год назад +1

    This is extremely difficult for me to believe… the damn pork is in a can at the bottom of a lake, there should be like .1% chance of ANY of the odorous molecules reaching even close to the top of the water and beyond, especially when it’s raining. I mean, unless that’s a special dog who can smell 100x better than the average dog… that’s literally insane. No.

    • @RottiesRuckus
      @RottiesRuckus Год назад +2

      I do scent work as a sport with my Rottweiler and thus, have some insight into how extraordinary and remarkable canine olfactory ability truly is. In tests, dogs have been able to detect a chemical in a solution diluted to 1-2 parts/trillion. While our brain has a big area devoted to vision, dogs have a big portion dedicated to olfaction: 40% more of a dog’s brain than a human’s focuses on smell. While the average person has 5M smell receptors, a dog, depending on its breed, has 125-250M (with Bloodhounds having 300M). Fern is absolutely for real!

    I believe the dog located the canister, not the pork. For the test they should have made absolutely sure the dog had no idea the meat was in a canister. There's no way the smell of meat could get through a canister if it is air tight.

    • @RottiesRuckus
      @RottiesRuckus Год назад +2

      I do scent work as a sport with my dog (Rottweiler). My dog is trained to alert on Q-tips that're impregnated with a specific essential oil (birch, clove, anise or cypress). In competition the scented Q-tip is put into a small container or vessel of some sort that are typically made out of metal (such as a small metal tin) or plastic (a piece of soda straw or lip, centrifuge or nasal tube). Before the start of an event (and out of sight of competitors) a trial official places this combination (called a "hide") in what's called an Element you and your dog search in a given amount of time. Depending on the level of competition, the Element could be blank (no hide) or contain multiple hides. Given what I've seen, it makes no difference to my dog--or any other dog--what type of container is holding the Q-tip: dogs will alert when they source the odor. There is absolutely no doubt Fern alerted on the odor of the pork rising thru the silt and the water. Dogs live in an olfactory world that is beyond our comprehension; in addition to human scent and cadavers, they've been trained to detect arson accelerants, currency, drugs, explosives, digital devices, epilepsy, illegally-imported agricultural products, mold, fungi and viruses. I recently saw a webinar about a program training dogs to detect Spotted Lantern Fly eggs.
