@Sactage: I never worked directly with dogs, but every now and then we had MP dog units we provided overwatch for; I liked the dogs - BADASS german shepards with little doggie body armor.

Grenades? More than I'd like.

Danger close? One time, when we called down JDAMs within 250 yards of our position. That was a nice, skull-fucking BOOM. We were hiding behind a tiny little stone wall, and I was on my back looking up when the bombs hit, and I remember seeing a blast of dust and sand over the wall, and the shockwave passing through my body. IT KICKED ASS.
