Title: Stay away from Russian dogs

Quote But perhaps the most inventive use of man's best friend to kill man's worst enemy was in World War II, with the introduction of the anti-tank dog. Anti-tank dogs were another Russian invention, of course, and worked on the theory that if you always feed a dog underneath a tank, underneath a tank is the first place that they'll head towards on the battlefield. Logically speaking, if the dog was wearing a suicide bomber outfit at the same time, you'd have a pretty nifty weapon on your hands. That was the theory anyway. In practice, these Russian dogs were trained by placing Russian dog food under Russian tanks, meaning that you can probably guess the floor in the plan. In 1942, after these rapscallious hounds forced an entire Russian tank division into retreat, the anti-tank dog was retired from service.
