For example, when Gracie is looking at her reflection in the mirror, Gracie mentions that “Max found God in her” life (6). When Gracie specifies that particular detail, the protagonist is demonstrating that the dog has won Gracie’s heart. Indeed, Max’s “pure love” has open Gracie’s heart and brought themselves nearer to each other. In fact, the dog is her whole life when Harvey left Gracie. Therefore, the author uses a dog to show us that leaving behind weak relationships can cause positive emotions.

The use of "terrier" is significant.  It shows that Lennie, despite his overwhelming "bear" size, is actually extremely loyal to George.  Akin to the dog, Lennie obeys George as a dog does a master.  The detail of "who doesn 't want to bring a ball to its master" is another example of animal imagery that evokes how much Lennie is dependent on George.  The idea of how a dog obeys its master no matter what

White Dog symbolizes the main characters’ innocent past. Although he is old and ailing, he has, according to the woman, “’been a good white dog,’” (11), and he is obedient to the woman. After the woman sees the evacuation order, she makes plans for the family pets. She gives the cat to the neighbors, and frees the bird. However, White Dog is too old for anyone to want him, and he would suffer if he had to fend for himself, so the woman feels she has no other choice but to kill him. White Dog displays naivety in his oblivion to what the woman is

Lately, Marley showed unexpected guarding characteristics when John rushed to help some girl who was stabbed near his house. Somehow the dog itself understood the danger of the situation and transformed into a “completely different dog”. Because of crimes around the neighborhood, John worried for the safety of his growing son Patrick and his pregnant wife. They started to appreciate the big dog being in the house. Even though Marley was harmless, his presence made them feel secure.

Along this difficult march, the narrator reflects on the life of the dog and remembers the not-so-bad characteristics of the family pet, “During our joint ordeal I had developed a grudging affection for our pet; he who’d been so quick to defend my kith and kin against the noise of passing trucks, who took loud notice of the squirrels outside, who held fast in the foyer, hackles raised, fearlessly barking, whenever company arrived at the front door (248).”

In setting out to find the Elk Dog, I already threw my life away." Because the boy had been left to die in the past, now to survive he had to conquer his fear; but he already conquered his fear before starting his journey to find the Elk Dog. The tone of this story is triumph. "But you, grandson, were brave enough to plunge in, and therefore you are chosen to receive a wonderful gift to carry back to your people."The theme of this story is that despite being flawed and rejected, he did not give up; by facing hisfears he was triumphant; this is the theme.Setting, Symbolism and figurative language all help the reader visualize and create the story in there mind. "In the days when people had only dogs to carry their bundles, two orphan children, a boy and his sister, were having a hard time." In the distant past before the introductionof horses, the only pack animals these people had were dogs. The author utilizes the setting to show that this story takes places in a time where these people's resources were limited. "When Long Arrow arrived at last in his village, the people were afraid and hid. They did not recognize him astride his beautiful Elk Dog but took him for a monster, half man, and half animal."

The man represents the fraction of society that doesn't respect nature. He doesn't understand the power of nature because he is oblivious to it. On the other hand the dog was "told a truer tale than that was told to the man by the man's judgement." The man "did not know cold. Possibly all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold." "The was no keen intimacy between the dog and the man." The man and the dog are together because the man needs the dog, and the dog has no choice. They have no emotional connection between them because the dog is used as a slave. In one part of the story the man uses the dog to test the trail and make sure that it is safe. The dog has more inherent knowledge about the area, all of his "ancestry knew" about the cold and the dangers of extreme cold. He also had a warm "natural covering" to keep him safe from the weather. The man was not used to the cold. He "was without imagination. He was quick and alert to the things of life, but only the things, and not the significances." He also was stubborn for his neglect to take advice.

When he talks about the wrongness of taking a man’s life, I get the sense that this was something that shook him to the core. This was a basic human reaction to death. Death is unpleasant and generally unwelcome, so why must we kill someone who is just as alive as we are? The condemned man feels, sees, and thinks like us, an equal. The condemned man was considered equal by the dog in the essay. I see the dog as symbolism for equality. It did not matter to the dog that the man was sentenced to death. He was another human being, a potential friend that was alive and well. After the execution, the dog seemed to know the wrongness of not only his misbehaving but that of taking a life as well. I think that everyone is an equal and that life is something special.
