Retrieve Hot Dogs

Find People -time line of my training
incorruptible character
In Search and Rescue, people often leave things behind, and often get lost with last seen origin in picnic areas. Therefore, Tuck has been trained to indicate significant food as articles. He also indicates other left food, but sniffs and shakes his head clearing it as a negative. But he leaves food alone.
You've seen the video of his hot dog retrieve, so he does control himself from gulping down food.
Last night was trash night, and I had removed the trash bags and set them out, but had yet replaced the liners. I was cleaning up from supper and had two duck thigh and lower leg bones (still attached as a unit) that I was about to pitch, when I realized that I needed to get some trash can liners.
Having no place to put the bones, I set them on the floor, and got the liners. When I went to throw out the bones, I noticed one was missing, checked all the dogs, who were off in the corners of the house all wearing innocent halos. (The dogs had just been right there.. both Elkhounds, and there was potential of the beagle too)
So I called the vet relating my tale of woe, concerned of a Tuck/chicken wing tip redux. Not knowing which dog got it, the vet told me to give all the dogs bread soaked in milk. All the bread I could get down them.
And watch..............
This morning, in the kitchen, I felt something bump my leg, turned around, and Tuck was offering me that missing duck leg.
I have no idea who took the bone, but Reka and Cappy would have eaten it. I don't know where it went, and was hiding in the interim, and only know that it was delivered by dog this morning.
If Tuck wrestled with his conscious all night, his character won out.
Shades of his dad... He inherited his incorruptible character.
Tuck likes to play with kids at the playground
