      ab: The article explores the dogs in the fiction book of J.R.R. Tolkien "The Lord of the Rings." It examines the use of dog-imagery in simile, metaphor, and character description. It states that Tolkien depends on dogs to achieve a variety of literature goals because dogs provide a basis for numerous analogies, both metaphor and simile. It comments that Tolkien uses dogs and dog comparisons to establish an effective and realistic ordinary setting, to manipulate tension in the plot, to enrich the portrayals of various characters, and to encourage the readers to engage on a visual level with the text and within the story.
