Oracle Text

This creature blocks each combat if able.

As long as this creature is untapped, all creatures attacking you get -1/-0.

Its growl is a long, rumbling grind of gears and clockwork, its bark a blast of hissing steam.

The second ability is no longer triggered. It continuously checks the tapped/untapped status of the Watchdog, and gives them -1/-0 as appropriate.
