You’re reading the intent wrong - they’re not sending the dog in to trigger booby traps and explosives so that the humans won’t get caught in the blast, they’re sending him in specifically because he can detect them better than we can, through explosives sniffing and other senses we can’t match. I guarantee that they…

I know. Somehow, even wondering how serious they are makes me feel old. So maybe they’ve scored a victory there? But for the first time, I’m not envious of youth.
