The funny thing with my dog, who we've done some scent work with, is that his nose seems to need to be focused and 'switched on' to really work. If I throw him a treat and he misses it, he will default to looking around with his eyes and missing it until I point it out. But give him the ready cue, and he can find a tiny piece of food or odour hidden in a drawer in a room in under a minute. So my take on that is it takes a lot of processing power to run the nose, and after a search session it's definitely nap time. And side note, I'd like to see AI efforts aiming at the level of a dog before we go for humans. It's amazing what they can do but it takes so long to train them and you have to start from scratch each time.
