It was one of the questions in a charity treasure hunt based on camp and the local area where the other half works.

That's strange, because AFAIK the dog was buried at RAF Scampton, where Operation Chastise took off from.

The dog was killed in the afternoon before the raid and Gibson instructed a LAC to construct a coffin. The LAC refused and Gibson stormed off, only just being pesuaded not to put the man on a charge.
