Hi,
My thought is that if the dogs got through the line of pikes - which they could quite easily since they're fast, agile and compact, then you'd have them inside the lines causing major havoc. I wouldn't put them in armor - it'd just slow them down. But there is a reason that dogs generally haven't been used as foot soldiers - in battle they'd have a friend or foe issue. They might know their master - but everyone else would be foe. Defending territory or pack mates is one thing. A full scale melee is something completely different. If you use them they'd have to be incredibly well trained.
Cheers, Greg.
