GOOD BOY.
% >>
YOU
GET
A
TREMENDOUS
REWARD
% WORKING
WITH THE
PEOPLE,
THE % FAMILIES
AND
THE
DOGS.
% ONCE
IT
ALL COMES
TOGETHER,
% IT''S WORTH A
MILLION
DOLLARS.
% >> HE AND
ZIP
OFFER
THEIR
% EXPERTISE TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT % AGENCIES FREE
OF CHARGES.% THEY HAVE
CLEAR
RULES
FOR
% PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER
THEIR
% SERVICES.
% >> ONE THING
WE
WANT
TO
MAKE
% SURE IS NOBODY GOES OUT AN
D
% DOES ANYTHING
ON

% NO
SELF--GENERATED OR % SELF
--MOTIVATING TYPE
SEARCHES.
% >> THE PARTNERSHIP
HAS
PAID
OFF.
% DURING

OF

THE
% DODGE
COUNTY SHERIFF
CALLED
% THEM IN.
% A MAN
HAD
GONE

AND
ALL % OTHER SEARCH EFFORTS
HAD
FAILED.
% >> HE
WAS INVITED
TO
DODGE
% COUNTY.% WITHIN
45
MINUTES
THEY
MADE
% CONTACT WITH US
AND
SAID
THEY
% HAD LOCATED
THE
MAN
WHO
THEY
% FOUND
DECEASED
ALONGSIDE
A
TREE
% ABOUT THREE
MILES
FROM
WHERE
WE % WERE
SEARCHING
FOR

% >>
MARHOFKE

CALLED
% INTO
A
COLD CASE
IN
SHAWANO
% COUNTY.% INVESTIG
ATORS GOT A TIP
ABOUT
A
% WOMAN
WHO
HAS BEEN
MISSING
% SINCE 1998.
% >> WE
WOULD
BE
AT

STILL
% WITH THIS
INVESTIGATION
IF
WE
% DIDN''T
HAVE
A.J.
AND HIS DOGS
% WORKING ON
THIS.
% OTHER THAN SEEING
EVIDENCE
IN
% FRONT OF US WE
PROBABLY
WOULD
% HAVE NOTHING TO
GO
ON.
% >> THE
SEARCH
ON
THIS
DAY
WAS
A
% BUST BUT
MARHOFKE SAYS IT''S
% BETTER TO TRY THAN
IGNORE
A
TIP.
% >>
YOU CAN''T IGNORE
A
TIP
AS
% THEY
CALL
IT
WHERE
SOMEBODY
% ALLEGEDLY THINKS THEY
MAY
BE
% AND THREE
YEARS
LATER
DOWN
THE
% LINE THEY
FIND THAT''S
WHERE
IT
% HAPPENED.
% >> DOGS
THAT
ARE
TRAINED
TO
% FIND BODIES
ARE
COMMONLY
CALLED
% CADAVER DOGS.
% THIS
IS
CALLED A
FORENSIC % EVIDENCE DOG.%
THAT''S BECAUSE HE''S
BEEN
% TRAINED TO
FIND
NOT
JUST
% CADAVERS
BUT
TINY PIECES OF
% HUMAN
REMAINS.
% >>
WE''RE
GOING
TO
START
ON
THE % BANK
AND
WALK THIS
WAY
WITH
HIM.
% IT
MAY
BE
HELPFUL
IN
A
VERY OLD
% SUSPECTED HOMICIDE WHERE
WE
CAN
% BRING IN
A
DOG
AND
GO
OVER
A
% BASEMENT OR
AN
ATTIC
OR
EVEN
A
% LIVING
ROOM
OF
A
HOUSE
AND
% WITHIN
A
REASONABLE
AMOUNT
OF

MAY
OR
% MAY NOT
HAVE

% COMMITTED THERE.
% >>
MARHOFKE
SAYS
THAT
FORENSIC
% EVIDENCE DOGS CAN
DETECT
VERY
% SMALL
AMOUNTS OF
DECOMPOSING
% HUMAN
SCENT.
% >> GOOD
BOY,

UNBELIEVABLE
% SITUATIONS.

IN
AN
% OLYMPIC SIZE
SWIMMING

TO

A

% WHETHER

% SO

EVERY
TOOTH.
% HE HAS THE
DETERMINATION AND
% DRIVE TO GET THE

% >>
THE
TRICK
TO
TRAINING
DOGS
% LIKE ZIP
IS
FINDING OUT WHAT
% MAKES THEM WANT
TO
WORK.
% >> IS
IT
FOOD
OR
A
TOY?% IT''S USUALLY ONE
OR
THE
