Plenty of dangers :

1. you die on a low level (of the dungeon) and leave behind a ghost and
   a very powerful monster for that level. Its very upsetting to get
   clobbered by a demon (&) or an umber hulk on level 3. (It has happened
   to me, although I was to blame for leaving creating them in the 1st
   place).

2. You may fall through a trap-door and have to come back up the stairs
   to get things (or for whatever reason). Try dealing with some heavy 
   ex-dog waiting to meet you.


There are a number of variations of these scenarios.



****** SPOILER ******

















My strategy is to polymorph the dog into some low level monster and the kill
it.
It will not hit back and you will get all the points. You can jump a few levels
this way. I try to do this to all converted dogs. I don't know if eating the
monster that once was a dog has the same effect as eating a dog. I will not 
state this effect for those who don't know it.
