Nicola Bulley's dog could be vital in helping to trace missing woman, expert claims
The 45-year-old mum vanished on January 27 after dropping off her two daughters at school in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, reports the Mirror.Her phone, still connected to a Teams call for her job as a mortgage adviser, was found on a bench on a steep riverbank overlooking the water, along with the dog lead, with the dog harness on the ground. Officers believe that Nicola fell into the river, but since there is nothing to confirm this theory so far, they said they remain open-minded.
Colin says that dogs often return to the last spot where they were with their owner due to their strong sense of smell. Top news stories today Colin explained that a dog's sense of smell is 10,000 times more powerful and its vision is inferior than humans. "So it will smell the bank and keep going back to that scent. It will often migrate back to the last spot where it was with the owner because they’re its pack leader."He wrote: "If an owner is walking along the river and fell in, and went under, or the river carried them off, the dog would be absolutely perplexed because it doesn’t understand water like we do. It has no capacity for that. If the owner was screaming or shouting that could increase the dog's confusion.
