“Drug” sniffing dogs react to a lot of things. Way back in the 80s my dad was in the Navy, and was driving onto the base, at a time that someone had a bug up their ass about drug use in the military. People driving on had their cars randomly checked. When a drug dog was checking the back of his station wagon, the dog got to excitedly sniffing. My dad told them about the dog we had at home who laid back there during car rides, and when he said our dog was male, the handler’s response was “oh, he wouldn’t react to where another male had laid.”
My dad then told them to have fun, and sat back while they searched the car and found … nothing. Because yes, even an unneutered male dog will react to where another male dog was laying, because he’s not curious about this other dog.
I still though much better like the high school pot heads’ response to their school deciding to contract the police and an agency with drug dogs to routinely search their schools.
First step: no one bring anything whatsoever into the school. Good step.
Step two: Some of them did bring spray bottles with bong water, and sprayed them over every locker, as well as all the cars in the parking lot. Not only did the dogs now alert on each and every locker, which had nothing in them, but kept alerting on everyone’s car … and the dogs had been trained to scratch where they detected the smell. A few dozen threats of lawsuits for damaged paint jobs, and suddenly the school admins no longer wanted drug dogs trying to root out all the druggies.
