Aren’t there dogs that also can actually sniff out cancer? Interesting but not surprising

Reminds me of that joke: "Dogs can be trained to sniff out cancer. Cats can be trained to poop in a box."

The article makes the point that the PCR teste are much more reliable, you should read ti. "More than 90% of the time" is a much lower level than the 99.9% of the time of molecular tests. By this point even antiscientific groups are distancing themselves of the baseless criticism of the PCR since it has shown to be so specific and sensitive that pretending they are inadequate is no longer believable.

Can dogs lose that ability if they get infected with SARSCoV-2?

That is impressive! Better than those flow tests, I think.

Not sure why, but I believe that the use of coronavirus-sniffing dogs has been scrapped everywhere.
In Finland it was due to bureaucratic reasons.
Inert dumb bureaucracy is one key reason why this pandemic has lasted beyond 2021
