Who invented body armor for dogs?

Body armor for dogs came about largely because of the war on terror. With more and more military dogs being used in the attack or bombing sniffing role, it became important to protect dogs from bombs or attack.

It costs thousands of dollars to train and deploy a military dog, hence protecting it from bombs and angry civilians (many Arabs culturally dislike dogs) is worthwhile.

Addendum:

Armour was also produced for war dogs in antiquity, from the medieval and early renaissance periods.

It was also used regularly for dogs used in hunting boar or similar wild animals, to protect the vaulable and trained animals.

There are depictions of war dogs with protective harnesses on the bayeux tapestry, from the 11th Century, sculptures of dogs in armour from the 17th Century, and at least one example of such armour is to be found in museum collections; in the Higgins Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts.
