While there are variables, such as wind direction, strength and sustained flow, there is solid, established, evidence that some creatures, notably carrion feeders such as vultures, are able to detect very small particles of a scent (decaying flesh as an example), down into a very few parts per million. Vultures are not primarily sight feeders, but can detect and react to a scent, under favorable conditions from miles away.

How does kinetic theory explain how a dog could find you by your scent?

Kinetic theory explains that molecules are in constant motion, and when a dog sniffs, it detects airborne scent molecules that have dispersed into the environment. These scent molecules, produced by substances in the surroundings or on a person's skin, move randomly and collide with the dog's olfactory receptors. The dog's highly sensitive nose is equipped with a large number of olfactory receptors, allowing it to identify and track these scent molecules back to their source, enabling it to locate a person by their unique scent.
