That's only if it's an inappropriate interpretation. Being that dogs don't actually climb into cars, but rather smell the odor emitting from the vehicle, it's not technically a search but rather probable cause in the same manner when a trooper smells alcohol on your breath when he pulls you over.

"Sorry, sir. In this jurisdiction the detection of any alcohol in the vehicle constitutes a violation of open container laws. You'll have to prove to the court that your deodorant has alcohol in it. Zero tolerance, sir. It's for everybody's good."
