Canine Inspection Report 
Date * Time 1 August 2007 20h00
Place Praia da Luz * Lagos
Participants: three PJ officers; two UK police experts; one Scotland Yard police officer; Eddy, the 
English Springer [Spaniel]; two GNR police officers
Today, after assessment of the area surrounding the tourist resort named “Ocean Club” in Praia da 
Luz, in which [assessment] were considered matters of toponomy, soil characteristics and distance 
from the apartment from where the minor Madeleine McCann disappeared, an inspection was 
done with the canine unit specialised in the detection of cadaver odour, in Praia da Luz, in the area 
from the start of the rock formation contiguous [immediately next] to the beach and commonly 
called “talefe” up to the area called “Rocha Negra” [Black Rock] that is characterised by the 
existence of a volcanic chimney [vent].
1. Thus, at 20h05, the stretch of sand, rock and rocky cavities [hollows] in the terrain was 
examined, nothing abnormal having been detected. The inspection happened in an area located to 
the left, when facing the sea, of the sandy beach of Luz, from the Millenium Restaurant 
The entire stretch of ground was examined, nothing abnormal was detected and so the work 
concluded at 21h00.
… the present document is going to be signed by all the participants.
