No. Gurgi's species is never formally identified, but he is not a dog. An actual dog features as a minor antagonist, chasing the heroes during their initial escape from the Horned King; other than narrowly avoiding being crushed by a castle gate, it does not come to any harm.

There are two dragons - one is killed as the Horned King's castle collapses at the end, the other survives and escapes with Creeper.
