*Click!*  That's a 60-watt bulb going on over the head.

It makes a lot more sense to me now that it's compared to Summon spells.
If the animal has a lower DX than the average wizard (most don't, at least for
beginning characters), then there's a little extra bonus by getting an attack
(or other action) in on the same round as the spell is cast, otherwise,
it's the next turn before the controlled animal can do the wizard's bidding.

Thanks!
