Dog Of Pompeii by Louis Untermeyer



"Dog Of Pompeii"


    In "Dog of Pompeii" by Louis Untermeyer, the dog, Bimbo shows that he is reliable throughout the story.  I chose this because Tito relies on Bimbo to guide him and help in life since Tito is blind.  In the text it says, "Bimbo was telling him the way out"  In the quote we can see that Tito really trusts his dog.  He let him guide them out.  Tito has to rely on Bimbo to help with many of his activities.  Bimbo would never hurt his owner unless Tito needed to know if Bimbo was with him.



      In "Dog of Pompeii" by Louis Untermeyer, Tito is shows that he is very observant.  In the text it says, "Tito had no idea of the time of day. He could feel it was black." In this quote it shows that since he is blind he can't really see the time of day but he could feel that it is dark outside.  But he is very aware of what is happening around him. He can still feel and hear other things.
