I think they are great. Just imagine if you were a tanker during WWII and you build a model of your tank. Just wood. No plastics.

Hello Jonathan! That was the Soviets that trained German Shepherds (ironic, ain't it? ) to run under German tanks with explosives. When the dog got squashed the bomb went off. Trouble was, in the noise, confusion, and explosions of battle, the dogs were just as likely to run back to the Russians and blow up their own tanks. The ASPCA would definitely not agree with this use of dogs.
