    The dog isn’t doing anything wrong. Most of the time they just alert based on subtle handler behavior anyway.

      We need an rct where the clinic sends abortion pills to some people and placebo pills to others. Or even to the same person in separate identical packages. Then see if the dogs alert more on the abortion pills or not.

      Dogs “alerting” has as much grounding in truth as a polygraph test.

      Polygraph results are not admissable in court, FYI.
