I have just discovered that there are a pack of Bloodhounds (www.southdownsbloodhounds.com) which hunt humans for fun. I recall many years ago that there was a similar pack of hounds in Germany which received adverse publicity because it was organised by the aristocracy to hunt soldiers! Whilst Labradors are not pack animals they do have a highly developed sense of smell which surely can be trained to track sweaty humans? Roger
