This is a misunderstanding of why "drug dogs are bullshit". Yes, dogs are capable of sniffing out people, animals, and substances. This has been made use of for centuries. Dogs are also capable of "hitting" on the trunk of a car, just because they guess that their master wants to look inside it. Plenty of evidence that this happens all the time. Which undermines the right protecting against unreasonable search and seizure. All you have to do is be the wrong color, or driving in a "suspicious" way (which means whatever police want it to mean), and they can bring a K9 by, the dog will dutifully point at the trunk, and the cops get their search. It's no different from the "I smelled pot" routine: there aren't any penalties to the police for doing an "I smelled pot" search and not finding cannabis, and there are no consequences for a K9 'hitting' on a trunk which turns out to have nothing more interesting than a gym bag.
