Like strapping a bomb to a dog that might very well just run off into the woods or throwing it with your arm like everyone else, right? Somehow I feel like the tank dog idea didn't come up from cutting edge military science but rather some drunken soldiers with a bomb and a stay dog and a fucked up sense of humor.

It was a serious Soviet military program. The dogs were trained to run under tanks.

A dog can run much further than a soldier can throw, which was pretty much the point. If you're close enough to throw something at an enemy tank, you are typically dead.

That said, this had limited success at best: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog
