      They don’t know they’re getting someone in trouble, they just know that if they act a certain way when they smell something, they get a treat. That’s why this tweet is horrifying, because they’re training the dog to do that when they smell pizza, which means that you get to be searched because you smell vaguely of pizza.

      Also cats can be trained to do the same thing. They just like dogs more because they’re easier to find/notice if they wander off a little bit, and can bite people.

        This is probably a situation where their handlers and trainers ate or were around pizza or something while training them… not sure if that’s funny or scary
