Seriously?!
Do try to educate yourself before you open your mouth.

In English, the dogs of war is a phrase from Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war". Dog has its ordinary meaning; havoc is a military order permitting the seizure of spoil after a victory and let slip is to release from the leash.

Among scholars of English literature, however, the consensus is that Mark Antony's "the dogs of war" does not literally refer to dogs, but figuratively to the wild pack of soldiers "unleashed" by the commander's order to wreak "general havoc", i.e., rape, pillage, and plunder.

Sorry but there is no worthy explanation as to why a game's title would lie like this.
