That was originally a German tactic. A Sherman Sheperd dog was trained to get under a tank with a pack on the back. When faced by enemy tanks, the pack was loaded with explosives which exploded the tank and the dog.

Why did the military use dogs?

The military used dogs a lot to sniff out under ground bombs or just hidden bombs from the enemies. They also might have used dogs to find people in war zones if an attack had just hit and they are looking for survivors or they are just looking for someone who is lost and they cannot find alone. Military dogs are very useful and with them it has helped to save many people from hidden bombs. The Russians during world war two used to train dogs to carry mines under German tanks essentially making them unwiting suicide bombers. This however backfired on them as they were trained on models of Russian tanks not German ones so they blew up their masters tanks instead, naturally it was not one of their better ideas.

Why did the British build separate cruiser tanks to fight tanks and slow moving tanks to support the infantry?

Britain was slow to change from WWI tank tactics. In WWI they had slow moving infantry support tanks. Once tanks began to fight each other on the battlefield, it was necessary for Britain to develop faster, cruiser tanks specifically to battle enemy tanks. It was similar to how America used their tanks in WWII, however they weren't the same ideal on how the tank is constructed. Later they developed tank destroyers specifically to fight other tanks. These were based off pre-existing tanks with lighter turrets and heavier guns.
