Summon Zombie Dog is the first summoning skill in the Zombie Skill Tree, and is the backbone of early witch doctors specializing in this tree. They aren't very strong individually, either in giving or taking damage, but at they are effective meat shields for the Witch Doctor to use his attack spells from the back row. At higher levels Mongrels can deal decent damage, and with other skills in this tree, a swarm they can swarm and destroy tough may be useful against individual enemies with ease. It appears this skill costs [[Health]] instead of mana, possibly to enforce   ===Enhancing the player to use his dogs wisely at earlier levels. Dogs=== Earlier versions of this skill allowed in Diablo III's development, the dogs to be enchanted with [[Skull of Flame]] Witch Doctor's fire and [[Locust Swarm]]spells could jump to the Mongrels, giving granting them fire damage or poison locust damageon top of their own (weak) attacks. This feature was removed in 2009, but it's possible it may return, respectivelyperhaps as a Mongrel enhancement from [[runestones]].

* None knownconfirmed. Elemental (fire or locust) effects may be granted to the dogs by [[runestones]].
