The temple dog has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Protector’s Initiative.

If the temple dog is entering combat against a clear threat to its temple, it has advantage on its initiative roll.

Rushing Slam.

If the temple dog moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then makes a slam attack against that target, it can make an additional slam attack against a second creature within 5 feet of the first target as a bonus action.
