In “Pilot“, Maggie Vera faced one of these creatures just after she discovered that she was a witch. The demon hunted her down and harmed her, but she was able to escape due to a group of drunk men arriving on the scene. This dog came along with his demonic master who was at the time possesing Brian.
This kind of demon dog can be only summoned through Absum Veri Spell and its purpose is to find the lost person. If caster knows what lost person dreads, something they deny themselves and something they desire, dog will show them coordinates. When one of these three things is not right, this creature will grow bigger and bigger and it will try to kill the caster.
Demon dogs appear as ordinary dogs in order to attract potential victims, only revealing their true nature when the prey gets close enough. In their demonic form, their eyes seem to become black and release some sort of black substance as well and the teeth in their mouths sharpen extensively, providing a green ooze-like substance.
At least one type of this dog can change its form, so that its eyes widen and its teeth become sharper. Their DNA differs from their non-supernatural counterparts and is made up of some sort of hydrochloric acid compound that they drool over when they transform into their demon form. They can be easily destroyed using sodium bicarbonate. Low-level Possessor Demons can also be vanquished with the same substance, indicating that their chemical composition is the same or similar. It is possible that demon dogs seek out owners who are genetically similar to them.

What kind of dog is a hellhound?
A Hellhound is not a real dog. It is actually a fictional and a supernatural dog, and a part of folklore. Such hellish supernatural 4-legged animals are seen as part of different mythologies around the world. They are known for having a garbled black coat, super strength, speed and scary glowing red eyes.
The black dog is essentially a nocturnal apparition, in some cases a shapeshifter, and is often said to be associated with the Devil or described as a ghost or supernatural hellhound. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death.
Cerberus, in Greek mythology, the monstrous watchdog of the underworld. He was usually said to have three heads, though the poet Hesiod (flourished 7th century bce) said he had 50. Heads of snakes grew from his back, and he had a serpent’s tail.
