The specifics of how the damage is determined are not yet known. Does the "20%" figure refer to the dog's maximum health. Or , or its health at the time of death?
If the later, then it would be advisable to summon a new dog, and then immediately sacrifice it, rather than using this
The explosion in which the dogs are sacrificed is magnificent, and can easily take out multiple enemies if timed and positioned correctly.

<blockquote>The biggest damage skill he had, and one I made extensive use of. It was especially good late game, when hunting down the last Wizard. I’d chase with the dogs ahead of me, hurling Firebombs at, or just to cut off, the Wizard. As soon as one of the dogs got in range, even if it was just close enough to take one swipe at the running target… bang.</blockquote>
