He did see them digging a hole, the week prior to the Mary Claire kidnapping, not the week he told everyone which wasn't possible, since he was at DisneyLand. What the kidnappers were possibly doing was digging a hole to bury the marked money they got from the Rain kidnapping done the previous week, since they discovered they couldn't spend it. The dog was used as a cover story in case anyone saw them doing it. When they were seen, the dog went in the hole in case anyone ever put 2 and 2 together, and they would only find a dog and no money.
At the very end, you discover where the money from the Rain kidnapping was put.(less)
