There's no set limit to how far away a scent can be picked up. It depends on how strong the scent is and the wind direction. Scent is carried by air. If the dog is upwind of the source of the scent it won't feel a thing. Downwind, even humans can smell big stuff like forest fires for miles.
Dogs have an incredible sense of smell; most dogs can smell things several hundred feet away if not farther. Bloodhounds and Labrador retrievers can smell things at times that are miles away (and days old).

When a dog is first born, they are deaf. They are not able to hear until they are 21 days old. As they grow and develop their keen sense of hearing, they are able to hear up to 4 times the distance that a person can.
