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.And technology marches on.

Not to mention your mouthwash, cologne, aftershave, your wife's cough syrup and a bunch of other things.
