How do police dogs know...

Let's say I'm walking through the forest and some guy goes sprinting past. About 15 seconds later, a cop releases a police dog which runs into the forest to catch the guy.

How does the dog know that it should go after the other guy, and not me? Does the dog know at all? Maybe something to do with scent? I mean, let's say a guy crashes a car with 3 hostages. The guy jumps out and makes a run for it. One of the hostages runs away in panic. The dog smells the car and goes after the criminal. How the fuck?

I've never heard of a lawsuit where a dog got the wrong guy or a kid...
