Montomorrency was as funny and eccentric as Harris, George, and Jim were. He was a perfect companion for the three friends. He complimented them. His behavior and actions also contribute to the humor in the novel. Montmorency is a small fox terrier. He is a constant companion of the three men during the trip. He makes his presence felt everywhere. His behavior and actions also contribute to the humor in the novel. Montmorency is quarrelsome by nature. The author narrates the incident in which a fox-terrier creates a riot. Therefore, he excuses the fighting nature of Montmorency who is also a fox-terrier. In fact, Montmorency's idea of 'life' is to hang about a stable, and collect a gang of most disreputable dogs to be found in the town and lead them around the slums to fight other disreputable dogs. At Oxford he fights eleven fights on the first day and fourteen fights on second day.


He likes 'something noisy' and does not revel in romantic solitude. That is why he is against the idea of boat-trip. He never cares for the river. But Montmorency never disapproves of a thing violently. There is always a noble expression on his face. The author calls him 'an angel sent upon the Earth.' At times he is a coward. Once he runs after a cat at a brisk speed. But the cat moves slowly. It turns round and sits in the middle of the road. Montmorency looks at her with gentle expression. Then he comes back to the three men.


Montomorency ‘s presence throughout the novel is ubiquitous. From the beginning when the narrator plans the boat-trip to the end of the novel, he is present with the narrator and his friends. He actively takes part on all the humorous activities thus adding more humour to the funny incidents. Be it the kettle scene, or Irish-stew boiling, or reacting to Harris’s singing and George’s banjo, he makes his presence felt to the readers
