I smell dead people.

Not to spoil the fun but there is, actually, dogs who are trained to smell dead people.
I learned this the other day on the radio , where they interviewed a forensic police about the Madeleine case.He said that dead people smell different and we all smell the same when dead.

Yes, they're called Cadaver dogs. They are trained to smell the gases that decaying flesh gives off. There are dogs that can even find bodies under water (they can find them underwater because the gases are release with air bubbles that come to the water's surface, that's when the dogs pick up the scent)

This is Azzy, a trained cadaver dog in Findlay. He's the biggest sweetheart you'd ever want to meet, too. He & his owner went down to assist in New Orleans after the floods...
