The Soviet Union actually used dogs as anti-tank mines. The dogs were trained to look for food under tanks and other armored vehciles. As they crawled under the tank, as small lever would be activated, detonating the 50 lbs. or so of TNT that was strapped on their backs. Once they were trained, the dogs would be let loose upon a field of advancing German tanks. The Soviets overlooked one small detail though; the dogs were trained using Soviet tanks, so they would often do as they were trained and run under the first Soviet tank they spotted.Quote:
