'''Summon Zombie Dogs''' is a [[Witch Doctor skill]] enabled at [[clvl|level]] 1. It summons several zombie dogs, better known as "mongrels" which [[tank]] for the Witch Doctor.
More points in the skill allow for more, higher level mongrels. They have good foot speed and are fearless, if not very damaging with their hand to hand combat. Sacrifice deals far more damage than the mongrels ever will.
==Skill Effects==
The following is a very quick list. See the [[Summon Zombie Dogs rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

[[File:Wd-mongrel-locust.jpg|thumb|350px|Mongrel enhanced with Locusts.]]
Earlier in Diablo III's development, the Witch Doctor's fire and Locust spells could jump to the Mongrels, granting them fire or locust damage on top of their own (weak) attacks. This feature was removed in 2009, and later replaced by various runestone effects.
