oh boy poor dogs
they had run to German tank with explosive (with timer) and both explode
but the most dogs were scared by German tanks that run back to there commander and BOOOM...
...the project was abandon very fast.

Allegedly the dogs were trained on Russian tanks, with diesel engines. So when they were released in battle, they run to tanks with diesel engines. But Germans used gasoline...

But Germans used gasoline...
