Meet Giddy, the fire dog helping the investigation into Crooked House blaze
As the Black Country avidly follows The Crooked House saga, one dog is helping officers investigate the blaze which tore through the historic pub.
Giddy is a 15-month-old fire dog who can sniff out 10 different accelerants such as petrol and lighter fuel, which are often used in cases of arson to enable a fire to spread more quickly.
As Staffordshire Police is treating the incident as arson, Giddy has been brought in to help the investigation.
The cocker spaniel and her handler, Alex Daw, assisted firefighters and police officers with an external search of the pub.
And while on the scene, Giddy will always wear little fire foots to protect her paws from glass and other sharp objects.
Giddy was recruited into the Fire Investigation and Prevention Section of West Midlands Fire Service after the tragic death of their last fire dog, Kai.
