Parachute Dog picture

Hello,
This link below shows a dog with an open parachute, caption suggests american but RAF marked Lysander in the background.
Did the US Air Force or RAF use dogs in such a way for military work , or was this a one off perhaps the dog belonged to a crew member and had his own chute made ?
