This spell summons the spirit of a dead dog to act as the priest wishes for the duration of the spell. The dog has one Hit Die for every odd level the caster has (1 HD for levels 1 and 2, 2 HD for levels 3 and 4, etc.). A non-combative dog is useful mostly for warning and will vanish after one warning or 1d6 hours + 1 hour per level, whichever comes first. A combative dog fights as a dog with Hit Dice as generated by the summoning and lasts until killed or 1d6 rounds + 1 round per level. Both have an Armour Class in inverse proportion to caster level up to level 10 (level 1: AC 10, level 2: AC 9, etc.). Past level 10 the dogs have AC 0.
The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol, dog fur (for a non-combative dog) or a dog tooth (for a combative dog).
