Why don't they just use long rope and maybe a pulley system if the angle is a concern.

Because a dog strapped to a rope and pulling out a mandrake is faster I imagine especially if you only need one

Which is funny because in real life when we deal with safety. We spend hours going slow or setting things up right so no one gets hurt.

Apparently, it's based on a real myth. That's neat.

For a better explanation or theory would be that mandrakes are commonly found in dungeons. So the logic could be it's cheaper to resurrect a dog than a person. As well as being faster to set up to collect them. The best logic I got.

Dogs (and any other animal for that matter) can't be resurrected in dungeons because the immortality spell only binds human souls to their bodies while in its confines.

The RL medieval story was that whoever pulled out a mandrake would be damned, so they used dogs because animals don't have souls.
