The biblical allusion of the dog and the lion indicates that a living dog is better than a dead lion because a dead lion can’t do anything since it’s dead.

I didn't know he had the ability to snarl." (Steinbeck, chunk 4). This means he didn't know his dog could do this, but his dog did it for him, and now he knows his dog will stand up for him. Another evidence is " Less than a mile from the entrance I saw a bear beside the road, and it ambled out as though to flag me down. Instantly a change came over Charley."

General Zaroff first proves this when he says, "The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure" (Connell 7). General Zaroff has been hunting his whole life and it has become just an easy game he plays. Although General Zaroff loved hunting, he wanted a challenge so he looked for a new animal to be his game. General Zaroff finally says the only animal capable of his preferences are humans when he says, "It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason" (Connell 6). General Zaroff is utterly surprised by why Rainsford thinks so highly of human life and has no problem to continue taking human life.

“Sir Charles Baskerville was in the habit every night before going to bed of walking down the famous yew alley of Baskerville Hall” (Doyle 10) This introduces the beginning of the mystery to the readers. They also get introduced to the person who got murdered and got a deeper understanding of who he was. “The doctors evidence pointed to an almost incredible facial distortion” (Doyle 9) This makes you wonder what happened and what caused him to die in such sudden surprise.

Jumping on you or your guests or furniture is his signal that he thinks he is in control and you need to dissuade him of that notion. Certainly dogs can get excited and if they are rewarded for this then they have a tendency to repeat the behavior.When you arrive home not only is he excited and happy to see you, all that jumping around gets him even more excited. Just as children have a harder time listening and obeying when they’re very excited, so do dogs. If you have a tendency to greet your dog by encouraging his behavior and entering into the game, well you aren’t doing him any favors or yourself for that matter. By taking him out for a walk or immediately feeding him, you are signalling a reward system is in place.
