The first thing I noticed in one of the post was the TDC dogs assisted in the search,another words the dogs were there,doesnt mean they caught anyone!!!!The dogs also assisted on the escape I was part of but did nothing but bite the officers.Also the question was asked if an escapee had ever been caught not a burgular.Those inmates know how to shake those dogs because the dogboys as they are called will tell them how to shake them.I promise you I could lose them,a few circles,figure 8s and backtracking myself would do wonders.I was sitting in a guard tower once and it came over the radio that the dog boy was going to be running across the field laying a track,I watched the inmate run into the field then stopped and made a hard right turn and took off 1/4 mile into the trees.All of the sudden here comes the dogs and were right on the track until they hit the spot where the inmate turned right,the dogs then took a hard left barking like they were on track and were caught almost 4 miles away.If you would have been trusting those dogs you would have been losing valuble time while they were ghost trailing.After an hour the inmate finally come walking back across the field just shaking his head laughing.TDC was good to me and my family but lets get real about these dogs.As far as the few people the dogs have caught all I can say about that is that even some cull hog dogs find a pig every now and then.
And I guess you never had one of them days ..... shaking your head at your dogs ....come on man ....some of the best dogs have a off day now an then
