English term or phrase: Attack dogs
So, in other words, a front group that's just always around to basically do whatever is needed in the moment. And they are particularly good at being attack dogs.

And so, the of the name of game here obviously is shooting the messenger. That's a really important tactic, distract as much as possible from the issue at hand. Never mind the fact that soda causes obesity and diabetes. Really, it's about Mayor Bloomberg being a nanny. And then there are what I call issue-specific front groups. So these are groups that pop up at the time a policy is threatening some industry. And again the tactics are to put the little guy's voice out in front, to engage in these
astroturf fake grassroots activities.

napadački psi
Explanation:
Pojedine vrste pasa se obučavaju, uglavnom kao psi čuvari ili radni psi ali poneki i za napad i to su napadački psi; ovde nema ništa sporno ali vama se izgleda ne dopada taj izraz. Kreativnost može biti poželjna kod ovakvih tekstova; možda da pokušate nešto s pobesnelim psima ili čoporom pasa? Ja ne bih preterano odstupala od originala.
