UNIT’s Police Dog Team (Wenley Moor Search)
A trained canine unit deployed by Captain Hawkins to actively track the Silurian’s scent across Wenley Moor. Unlike static tools, these dogs exhibit autonomy (e.g., sniffing, moving independently) and are biological sensors with keen olfactory capabilities, distinct from mechanical or visual aids like flares.
