Tuosta osoitteesta löytyy tietoa Keelasta ja Eddiestä, vainukoirista jotka oli visiitillä Praia de Luzissa. Vaikka paikka onkin tuollainen poliisi laitoksen ''kids-zone'', siellä on ihan vakuuttavaa tietoa Keelan, veritahroihin erikoistuneen dogin kyvyistä.
Jostain löysin aikanaan tietoa myös Eddiestä, siitä ruumiskoirasta, mutta äkkiä ei nyt löydä linkkiä sinne.
Ovat kuitenkin ihan huippu yksilöitä, joita on menestyksekkäästi käytetty paljon julkisuutta saaneissa caseissä englannissa ja myös muualla maailmassa.
Eli ei ne kai mitään ihan turhia koiruleita ole. Enkä usko, että ainakaan ''lahjottavissa'' suuntaan tai toiseen....

Keela The Superdog
April 7, 2005
keela dogOn November 23rd, 2004, the staff at Keela were preparing to greet some very special visitors. PC Martin Grime and PC John Ellis from the South Yorkshire Police were due to arrive, and as their entrance loomed the anticipation grew. However, for once the excitement was not caused by the thought of men in uniform, but knowing that the officers were bringing their sniffer dog team with them.
Eddie, a springer spaniel, and Frankie, a border collie, came along with new recruit ‘Keela’, a 10-month-old springer spaniel, and they were the center of attention all morning. Staff at Keela International were thrilled to see that the dogs were sporting their specially made Hi-Viz coats, part of the extensive Keela range produced for police forces nationwide, and the inspiration for the newest doggy sleuth’s name.
The dogs, which command £1,000 a day for their first class skills, have worked on high-profile murder cases throughout the country, helping solve crimes both recent, and up to 25 years old. They have been trained by the two officers to use their super strength noses to pinpoint even the tiniest microscopic speck of blood, which would be undetectable to the human eye. The dogs demonstrated their skills, searching for traces planted around the factory, and a reporter from the local newspaper even turned up to see what all the fuss was about.

The police sniffer dogs, which are trained to locate minute traces of blood, were brought in after the focus of the investigation again turned on the apartment where the McCann family were staying when Madeleine disappeared 97 days ago.
The dogs, which have also been involved in the search for missing Castlederg teenager Arlene Arkinson, were yesterday still in Portugal.
Used across the world for his accuracy, seven-year-old hound Eddie helped police put Trevor Hamilton behind bars in 2006 after the victim recovery dog found 63-year- old Attracta Harron's blood on the 23-year-old murderer's burned-out Hyundai. Eddie, who works for South Yorkshire police, also located Attracta's body in a shallow grave in April 2003.
The police dog and his handlers returned to Tyrone for a third time at the end of last year to help find the missing Arlene Arkinson who went missing after leaving a disco in Bundoran, Co Donegal, on August 13, 1994.
