UNHERALDED POLICE DOG
If Vick is the main villain in a dogfighting case that has troubled and captivated this country, then the hero is Troy the 3-year-old Dutch Sheppard.

Troy is the certified police dog that, early on April 20, led the police to a car in the parking lot of the Royal Suite nightclub in Hampton, Va.

The car belonged to Michael Vick’s cousin Davon Boddie. The car contained three ounces of marijuana. And once Troy sniffed out the car, police launched their own drug probe five days later at Boddie’s address -- the now-infamous 1915 Moonlight Road.

While police went to the property looking for drugs, they instead found pitbulls, dogfighting equipment and dog carcasses -- all at a home in which Vick owned.

It is one of the most intriguing, and overlooked, aspects of this whole Vick case that has seemingly grown in size and scope since it first was uncovered just days before the NFL draft.

Were it not for Troy -– who didn’t join the Hampton police department until May 2006 -- it’s possible Vick still might be leading the secret life he had been living all along.

But Troy the 3-year-old Dutch Sheppard brought down Vick in a way that NFL defenders never could.

I have long sensed that dogs are telepathic. Wolves in the wild xan perform very sophisicated coordination during hunts without any verbal communication and out of direct line of site. There have been many studies done on how dogs know things, like when their owner is coming home (please read the book "Dogs that know when their owner is coming home." Very interesting things dogs do and know.)

I suspect that we have a paranormal occurence here. Murdered pit bulls send a message from beyond to their cousin in the police department. "Nail this guy for killing us," they said.

Yep, I am sure of it.

When I'm working my normal graveyard shift and my nephew isn't (he works a swing shift), my mutt Aly (short for Alyeska) sleeps in the upstairs bedroom with him... Michael says that every morning around 8AM, Aly's at the door, sniffing and whimpering in excitement... 8's when I generally get home from work, and if I stop by the grocery store, or am late for any reason, the poor nephew doesn't get any sleep...

So yeah, I know that Aly knows what time I'm due home from work...

She's laying here beside me as I type this, and must know I'm talking about her, she's looking up at me and wagging her tail...
