The article mentions they aren't necessarily wrong, they just aren't finding a stash. Aka, wipe your coke nose off with your sleeve, dog smells it on the sleeve, doesn't mean you still have a bag of coke on you. Aka no drugs "found" but the dog isn't wrong who had coke on them
That's also not what's said.
There's plenty of articles debunking this. Other articles make it more clear, that the dogs are responding to their handlers intuitions, in order to make them happy and get treats.
That there "was once drugs in the area in the past some time" or else where at the rave/nightclub/house party, so residual odor claims can be made." isn't the same as confirming that's what the dog was picking up on.
You're falling for cop-logic.
Here's more studies on it. It's widely debunked.

I think the biggest truth that goes unsaid is that cops use sniffer dogs the same way they use lie detectors - as a means of pressuring suspects.
You're falling for cop logic
Is that what the dog said? It's hard for them to speak with such long tongues.
