The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

  If you read more into them you will see it didnt work as expected!   The dogs were trained to be fed and/or find food under a tank that was running,problem was the dogs prefered the sound of their own tanks! :O

  The Ruskies should have used German tanks to train the dogs!

Apparently it was more the smell than the sound. The Russian tanks were diesel's, whereas the panzers ran on gasoline. With all the dogs running back to their handlers when spooked, I'm guessing nearly as many were shot by the Russians as the Germans. The real losers were definitely the dogs.
