Those puppies are softening the resistance below by carpet-bombing the ground forces on their way down. Notice that the dogs are tethered _below_ the soldiers.
There's a story among skydivers in the Philadelphia area of the one guy who used to take his dog skydiving with him. He had a custom harness made for the dog, and the chute's ripcord was attached to the guy's rig so that when he opened his cute, the dog's chute would open a split-second later.
Yes, the dog loved going skydiving. Whenever the guy got out the dog's skydiving harness at the dropzone, the dog went absolutely nuts over it.
Oddly enough, the dog outlived the guy, who died later in a skydiving accident. (was knocked unconscious in freefall and didn't have the automatic mechanism that deploys the reserve chute at a certain altitude...)
