Just a thought but what exactly was the dog tracking the blood trail or scent or ? I heard of a track dog back in Kentucky that is trained to track the dead pheromones of a dying animal through the feet or hooves. So when that dog quits tracking the deer is still alive if he doesn't find it

Injured deer give off a different scent from their interdigital glands that well trained dogs will track...not blood, not any healthy deer. Amazing to watch.

I have read similar tales. That is fascinating.

That's how my dog is trained to track. Basically the more injured they are the stronger the scent from the indigital glands are. The easiest deer for her to find is a gut shot deer. If I am going to miss I want to miss towards the rear and not the front. One reason I stay away from shoulder shots with a rifle. We have been to track too many deer that were shot high or forward that keep on living. You can pretty much tell from her whether it is a fatal shot or not after a decent length track.
