Polaris,

the reds did a lot of wierd and in-humane things. There are reports of that happening but not just with dogs, they would use members of Penal battalions, prisoners in the service of the military, as walking bombs, by simply straping a satchel charge on an telling them that they can be shot now, or take out some germans with them. In the later stage of the war, it was not uncommon for russian tankers to tie/chain german civilian prisoners to their tanks, so that german soldiers would be inclined to not shoot! And yet there have never been any war crimes filed against the red army.
