Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not sure where sex comes into this; there's no implication of that intent in the comic that I can see.
But you've opened a can of worms. One of the main issues that makes bestiality illegal is the animal cruelty / distress aspect. Here, what-, or whoever pops out of this spell may be capable of consent for such shenanigans. As such it wouldn't necessarily be cruel, and so might not qualify as illegal, at least not for that reason.
I'd be surprised if any jurisdiction has legislation for inter-species sexual relations where both parties are sapient and can consent. There's only one sapient species on this planet as far as the laws are concerned. (Yes, yes, dolphins might be, and so might squid. The laws aren't there yet.)
That said, I'm no lawyer. There are, or have been, laws against inter-racial relationships, that is, between members of the same species (although I'm not sure the lawmakers who wrote them necessarily agreed with that assertion), so those laws might end up being resurrected with certain amendments because "ew, dude made a sapient she-dog and got jiggy with it. that ain't right."
As for the morality and ethics, hell if I know. I don't want to have sexual relations with a sapient she-dog any more than I want them with certain members of my own species.
