Does the dog count as a summon for traits that buff summons?

Title. Just wanted to know if it was worth investing in things like Summon Health for the dog.

Unsure, but dog with summons is a pretty strong frontline so can't go wrong honestly.

[Atma]

Yes.

Think that only corresponds to the Summoner's pets pretty sure it doesnt work on the dog as hes not really a summon.

He counts as a summon.

i even confirmed this with a ring that gives u bulwark for each summon

I got a ring that make summons heal me for 5% of the damage they do, and i can confirm it work with the dog.

I know those dogs can get beefy. I was in a party and the dog was pretty much tanking a mini boss. Just enough anyways for us to kill the boss. So I'd say the dog can get buffs. No way their that strong by default.

Thanks all for the quick answers. Good to hear it may be worth investing into.

Dog is a great unit to have. beefing it up while it is supported by summoner is even better.

Currently running Handler/Challenger and dog has saved me so many times. Not even talking about his revive mechanic. Just that the dog pulls so much aggro and tanks so well.

ENGINEER TURRET also counts as a summon

That already made sense to me as when I first saw that turret I immediately thought of the first game's turret ability (Iron sentinel I think it was called?)

Sorry for the late response.
The ring is called "Soul Link" and can be found at random in a few areas of Yaesha.
