Description

The Bronze Dog is a loyal and powerful companion, it's completely made of enchanted bronze. They make the perfect guard dogs and are created for the elites to protect their homes and they make wonderful decoration when the Bronze Dogs are in their statue form. 

The process of making a Bronze Dog require a transmutation ritual to fuse a dog with enchanted bronze. The enchanted bronze fuses with the dog's body and turning them into a bronze statue and giving them magical abilities. The dog's soul and the ritual allows the spell Animate Object's effect to be permanent and the Bronze Dog to act on its own when it's active. The greater the dog's bond to the it's owner the stronger the Bronze Dog will become after the transmutation ritual. The Bronze Dog are given command word so their owners can animate them or have them return to being statue form; and/or a glyph of warding to trigger them to reanimate when intruders step into them.

If the Bronze Dog is in it's statue form, you can cast Animate Object onto it allowing you to give it a new command word, and a better chance to gain ownership of them.

Be careful if you acquire a untrained Bronze Dog, even though they do not need food, water, or rest they will still have their other behaviors. The Bronze Dog might want to sit on your lap or leap onto you regardless to the fact they made weight a ton.
