I think he adopted you around the bear encounter. That's when a bear wandered into the camp and you guys decided to scare him off rather than kill him. I've mention the dog here and there in the beginning but haven't said much about him since entering the Tunnels. Dogs generally don't gain hit dice unless they're an animal companion. I'm assuming you don't want to switch to being a Druid so the only other way to make a dog better is through templates. Most templates like Dire Dog or Horrid Dog are added when a dog is born through. 
He has been staying behind so I haven't had to worry about combat but if you guys suddenly get magically transported then it will be more difficult to have him follow.
I could be fun using the Dog as a plot device. Now that Forge will be joining soon there will be no need for me to NPC Tomeal so the Dog could be a way to provide hints like I tried with Mil and the crates to help move the plot along. But I do have some ideas for the Dog but I obviously can't talk about them here.
