Montmerency is not portrayed as a mere dog.In face, he is treated at par with the human members of the rowing party. He is a fox-terrier who are clever,adventurous and fighters Montmerency does not like cats.Once he saw a big black cat.He began to run after the poor cat.The cat showed no hurry.It sat down in the middle of the road.The look of the cat was such that Montmorency had to stop and look back at the cat.After a while,the cat went away.montmorency came back,embarrased.If anybody now says "cats" to Monmorency ,he shrinks and looks up piteously at him as if to say "please don't".Montmorency is adventurous.He cannot let any challenge unresponded.Whenever he saw the boiling kettle,it seemed to challenge him.He got an opportunity once to seize it by the spout.With a loud yelp left the boat and took a round of the island,running and stopping every now and then to bury his nose in cool mud.From that day he began to dread the kettle. Montmorency is a fighter by nature.At Oxford he had eleven fights on the first day and fourteen on the second.He was so happy that he thought he had gone to heaven.
