Officers were investigating a robbery and a potential burglary near defendant\u2019s house. The officer with the dog was outside for 45 minutes going around the area looking for a scent [of what?] and then they sought to enter defendant\u2019s home because of the mere possibility the suspect could have been there. Defendant let them in, with the dog. Once inside, the dog, a drug and tracking dog, alerted to drugs in defendant\u2019s apartment. The entry and smell was reasonable because he let them in. The officers didn\u2019t say that the dog also sniffed for drugs. The dog did not alert until inside, and he wasn\u2019t told to look. He was just there with the officer looking for the robbery-burglary suspect. United States v. Iverson, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 167022 (W.D.N.Y.
