Can't remember how many pages back, but to whomever asked if it was ok to go combing the streets looking for the inhaler? Absolutely, as long as you are not going onto private property without permission and you are not intruding on any LE search or area they are working. Never do anything that would put yourself at risk and force LE to take time off the case to rescue you. It's really no different than you going for a jog, which you are certainly allowed to do. If anyone does come upon it, don't touch it, call LE and wait there for them.
As for the dogs, this is a tough one for a dog to work. This is an area that she walks constantly and their is scent trail over trail over trail. It sounds like she walks all over the area constantly and would make it very hard for a dog. No excuses for dogs, but they have their limitations, like any resource. Just like a helicopter or anything else, if they're not used properly they're completely ineffective.
