The dog in NM (interestingly named “Leo”) had an expired certification at the time he precipitated the buggery-under-the-color-of-authority.
Thanks for the additional info. ...Though an expired certificate means they haven’t been tested in a while to confirm they haven’t picked up some bad/confusing habit, or that they can still detect the specified materials (dogs senses of smell can be burned out by some of the compounds they are used to detect).
