{{quote| '''Aragorn''': [about the orcs] ''Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent. Hurry!''}}
** Inverted in that it is the orcs that are being pursued, and they've caught the scent of their pursuers (Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli) and are speeding up so they won't be caught.

{{quote| '''Sid''': ''My family abandoned me. They kinda migrated without me. You should have seen what they did last year. I mean, they got up early, and quickly tied up my hands and feet, and gagged me with a field mouse, and barricaded the cave door, and covered their tracks, and went through water so I'd lose their scent, and... and... who needs them anyway?''}}
* ''[[Willow]]'' has the hell dogs, which Bavmorda sends to track down the escaping nursemaid in the opening sequence. The nursemaid barely makes it to the water in time to drop the baby on a raft before the hell dogs are upon her.

** In ''Blood Pact'', the Chaos forces transform one of their number to do this, and later, when Mkoll picks up Gaunt's trail, Kolea phrases, "He has the scent."
* In [[Discworld]], once criminals start hearing that a werewolf has joined the watch, they grow wise and carry 'scent bombs': a thin glass vial of peppermint oil or aniseed oil is shattered in a busy intersection, where hundreds or thousands of people will walk over it, obscuring the criminal's scent with theirs. Also, Moist Von Lipwig has an emergency escape plan (hatched after he heard the watch employs a werewolf) including detours through the butchering district and riding dung carts.
Line 43:
* In ''N or M'', Agatha Christie's Tuppence Beresford has rubbed aniseed oil on her shoes so that she can be followed by the officials when she goes to meet a suspected spy. When the person escorting her to the meeting tells her to get into a car, {{spoiler|she expresses doubt about the quality of the tires, and kicks on several times, transferring the aniseed oil to the sidewall of the tire.}}
* In William King's [[Warhammer 40000]] [[Space Wolf]] novel ''Grey Hunters'', Sven and Ragnar know there is trouble when they see the Chaos forces have dogs sniffing at a trail.
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s [[Warhammer 40000]] [[Ultramarines (

* In [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''[[A Midsummer Tempest]]'', they get the dogs on Rupert and Will's trail.
* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Green Mile]]'' plays with this. A group of dogs tracks the two kidnapped girls at the beginning of the story, but they get mixed up at the creek; two of them want to go in another direction. After the scent is reestablished, they go with the rest of the pack. Later, Paul figures out that it's because those two dogs weren't police dogs, and got the smell of the killer and the girls mixed up in their head, so that when the killer ditched the girls at the creek, they went in ''his'' direction, rather than where the girls were eventually taken by John Coffey.
Line 51:
* [[Matthew Hawkwood]] and Lassuer are hunted using dogs in ''Rapscallion''.
* In one of the [[Heralds of Valdemar|Tarma and Kethry]] short stories, two kidnapped girls drop shreds of white silk out of the wagon they're being transported in. The silk is invisible against the snow the wagon is rolling through, but leaves traces of their scent that Tarma's kyree familiar Warrl can follow.

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: Twilight Princess'' is a game example, where ''you'' are the one who picks up The Scent (in [[Our Werewolves Are Different|wolf form]],) with many different smells presented throughout the game.
* ''[[Discworld]] Noir''.
* The titular hero in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]''. With his (bat?)scanner he can extract separate essenses (like tobacco stains or alcohol vapors) and then pinpoint them in the surroundings to track the smoker/drinker.
* Not exactly dogs, but in the opening cutscene of [[Halo]] 3 [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|the Arbiter]] warns a group of humans: "We must go. [[Killer Space Monkey|The Brutes]] have our scent."
** To which [[Sergeant Rock|Seargeant Johnson]] replies: "Then they must love the smell of [[Badass]]."
