Montmorency is the dog in this story. He is a cute looking fox terrier, and the narrator describes the dog in a bit of humorous detail near the end of chapter two. The narrator tells readers that he didn't think much of the dog at first. In fact, the narrator believed that the dog wouldn't live on Earth that long.
Oh, that dog will never live. He will be snatched up to the bright skies in a chariot, that is what will happen to him.
The narrator thinks this because Montmorency is such a small bundle of energy that he'll get himself into a bad situation and not be able to make it out. The narrator even describes the dog as angelic. He thinks the dog is just too cute and innocent to defend himself.
By the end of chapter two, the narrator's opinion of Montmorency has changed completely. The dog is a terror. His energy makes him an unceasing antagonist to just about every other kind of animal. Readers are specifically told that Montmorency successfully killed twelve chickens, a cat, and an untold number of rats. The narrator claims that he had to drag Montmorency out of 114 street fights. Finally, Montmorency has been known to terrorize the human neighbors, described as
a ferocious dog at large, that had kept him pinned up in his own tool-shed, afraid to venture his nose outside the door for over two hours on a cold night.
