Those cars are used for VIP transfer in summits, various publicity events ect. For example a lot of those cars were used in the wedding of football's star Ronaldo.

As for the dog , it is probably checking the car for explosives.

Audi sponsors Real Madrid as well. I do wonder just how many additional cars that their expensive sponsorship has sold....

The dog looks like he's answering nature's call, but he's checking for explosives although it would be difficult to fit one in the engine bay. None of the cars shown are armoured. I read the article and it says 15 A8 Security armoured cars will be kept in a garage. Those are some cool cars, probably the best factory-armoured car there is..
