The main advantage that all dogs have is the number of scent glands they possess - between 124m and 300m in comparison to a human's paltry 5m. The 'smelling' bit of a canine brain is 40x bigger than ours.

Even so it occupies much less space than the building full of kit and computers we would need and still not be anywhere as good as a dog. The R&D man in me has got to ask.... how do they do that??????
