Practice search for Komu

Komu was chained in a yard a month ago.  Saving Great Animals and Jessica gave him a new life, and hopefully he will be a search dog for MPP some day.  Yesterday he hid for Kelsy.  The scent trail was fresh, about fifteen minutes old when we started.  The trail was about 2.15 miles, near Celebration Park in Federal Way.

Although that's what the Weather Channel reported at that moment, I think it was warmer, with a stronger wind from the northwest, and not as humid.

Kelsy followed this scent trail fairly easily, being fresh, but she followed on the opposite side of the street most of the way.  It seemed that she followed where the wind had pushed the scent.  On the portion of the trail that followed the BPA trail, Jessica and Komu mostly took the small trails parallel to the main path, but Kelsy followed the main path.  At times, Kelsy was fifty or sixty feet off the actual trail of Komu, but following in the right direction and making the right turns.  This is consistent with how Kelsy has followed trails in the past.
