In the Book Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, the two dogs, younger and older cockerspaniels, are quite similar to other characters in the book. I think that the younger dog is alot like Max's sister, Beatrice, because both are accepting, and overly jovial people. The two are nearly parallel in the way they like to take care of the main character and make her happy. Along with this idea, Maxim introduces his grandmother, but she is never actually brought into the book. Maxim's grandmother is introduced as a blind, old, and is described almost as a crone. The other dog is much like the described grandmother, he is blind, and quite rude to the main character, making her seem as a lesser. The dog is quite  similar it seems to how the Maxims grandmother is described. Although she has not been introduced formally into the story yet, I feel as though his grandmother and sister, Beatrice, might have a larger role to play throughout the rest of the story.
