I'll take the 30 million dead over a relatively small number of dogs killed as the greater evil thanks.

It wasn't one or the other, it was both 30 million dead AND some unknown number of dogs killed that very likely didn't make a meaningful difference in the Soviet war effort. Congrats on getting down to the level of your enemy, I guess.
Presumably every dog saved a man's life or a few. Doesn't it sound reasonable to send even all the dogs to bomb tanks?

The real problem was that the training they did was so superficial that the dogs made more harm than good.
