AIBU?

To think that my brother should listen to his dog and start digging?

My brother has a greyhound. She's very bright and every time he takes her for a walk in a particular field near his home, she stops and won't move from a particular spot.

She always stops there and he has a hard time moving her. She stares at the ground and won't move. When he does pull her away she leaves but with her head turned back at the area until it's out of sight.

AIBU to insist he digs!? What's down there!?

I think I would suggest he digs but may not like what he finds

Dogs have an incredible sense of smell but I can't think what a greyhound would find the scent of

My first thought is a body of some kind, may just be a rabbit but I would have to dig after such a strong indication of something of interest

It's probably where the local male greyhound pees.

No Euphemia Shergar is on tour with Elvis, Princess Di, and Lord Lucan . . . but keep it secret.

Insist and if it doesn't work take a shovel and get out there yourself. In daylight though Grin

If she's anything like my lot it'll be something dead and rotting she wants to roll in Grin

Mine once found the remnants of a very long dead toad. I've never been more thankful to have very short coated and easy to clean dogs.

I'd be there with a spade either with or without brother's help! I'm nosy though Grin

We can’t all be left in suspense wondering what it is - we need to know!

Do dogs spot truffles like pigs?

Personally i wouldn't be digging. I doubt very much if the dog is smelling gold coins! It's more likely to be something rotting Hmm

maybe mention it to your local PC?

Join them on their next walk, with a spade (and a gas mask)

It'll be a den of some sort or dead animal festering.

But still I'd be there with a shovel!

Sorry I went away! I can't go there as it's 4 miles away and I don't drive! Grin

I don#t like the sound of dead rabbits...but I can't help but fee. it's too curious to ignore!

Moles! I bet it's moles!

Unless you are in Ireland, we don't have moles or snakes here.

If you are in Ireland, it's definitely Shergar.
