Does a fibre product of a group $G$ with itself have a subgroup isomorphic to $G$?

Let $G$ be a group, and consider a fibre product of the form $H=G\times_{D,\phi,\psi}G$, i.e. the group of pairs $(g,g'),\phi(g)=\psi(g')$, for some surjective group morphisms $\phi:G\rightarrow D$ an …

Does a fibre product of a group $G$ with itself have a subgroup isomorphic to $G$?

By mistake, I did not find any counterexample for the case of $G=D_4$. I have done the computations again, and this actually gives the smallest possible counterexample. Let $r$ and $s$ be the usual ge …
