I've gotten in the habit of being wrong occasionally on purpose so my wife is less frustrated. Kinda like how drug dog handlers will plant the occasional drug if it's been too long without a bust, so the dogs don't get depressed.

EDIT: Not on people. That's a totally separate thing. I'm talking about officers posing as suspects. Probably thinking of bombs anyway.

Yeah...sure...that's why.

It may have been bomb-sniffing dogs now that I think of it 😉

Similarly, they did basically the same thing on 9/11 for dogs trained to find survivors when they weren't finding many.
