Thats the summary of the laws changes as written by the MCC.
Alot, or I dare say most, competitions aren't going with the new Law 42 as some questions have been raised separately in different countries as to its legality.

Cricket South Africa is one such - we're not implementing it at club level until the 2018 season at the earliest; our season starts in Sept.

At an international Stadium an ODI a dog enters the field of play. Play ceases until the dog has left the playing arena. Play resumes with the batter striking the ball deep toward the long off boundary. In the mean time the dog jumps over the rope back inside the boundary. The ball strikes the dog and rolls to a stop 3 mitres inside the field of play where the fielder picks up the ball and returns to the keeper. The batters have crossed for second run. The batter looks towards the umpire inquiringly. What happen next?

The relevant clauses in the Laws are:
19.2.7 A person, animal or object coming onto the field of play while the ball is in play shall not be regarded as a boundary unless the umpires determine otherwise at the time that contact between the ball and such a person, animal or object is made. The decision shall be made for each separate occurrence. See also Law 20.4.2.12 (Umpire calling and signalling Dead ball).
… and …
20.4.2.12 he/she considers that either side has been disadvantaged by a person, animal or other object within the field of play. However, if both umpires consider the ball would have reached the boundary regardless of the intervention, the boundary should stand (see Law 19.2.7 – Identifying and marking the boundary).
———
The umpire at the bowler's end should call Dead Ball, and then the umpires would confer.
If the umpires consider that the ball would have reached the boundary if the dog had not interfered,. they should award a boundary four.
If they think the ball would not have reached the boundary, either because it was travelling too slowly, or because a fielder was close enough to have stopped it, then they would allow the runs completed and the run in progress.
