Short answer: No, that's a 31K job. Hopefull answer: if you're on deployment and you get in good with a certain detachment of dog handlers and they need a body and your unit says ok. Not likely but, I've worked with K9s. On my first deployment as an 11C.

NO- MP MOS you would have to re-enlist or reclass.

Haven't found any info on the Infantry having their own working dogs but the MPs do and the Engineers have the Engineer Mine Dog program.
For the Engineers the unit has to recommend the Soldier and they go to training here at FLW and are awarded an ASI. During the 05-07 Iraq rotation we received Mine Dog support from the 5th Engineer BN and they were very effective at locating weapons caches on route sanitization missions and explosives during transload site operations.
