If not overused, the dogs reaction to a character can advance our understanding and connection to that character.

He also had a yellow lab, <br />two of the sweetest dogs our family ever had. We've also had an Irish setter, a Siberian huskie, a miniature poodle, a toy poodle, and a Bichon Frisé. I enjoy books where an animal serves as an important character especially if it's one I've had.
