Actually the dogs headed for the Russian vehicles instead of the German ones!
The Russian tanks were running on diesel fuel.
The German Tanks on petrol fuel.
Since the Russians trained their dogs using russian tanks for target practice, the dogs would not identify German tanks as the target (they smelled differently).
