HARRIS
Harris is a carefree man who has a fondness for drinking. He behaves in a weird manner after drinking too much but has no clue about it the next day.
Harris is a man who is overconfident about almost everything. However, he eventually turns out to be a failure with the things he considers himself to be expert at. Harris account of his visit to the Hampton court maze serves as one of the most humorous one in the book. He claims to be a very good cook but eventually messes up the dish and even burns himself. Harris loves music and believes that he is very good at singing comic songs. But the fact is that he messes them up as he forgets the lyrics and confuses the pianist. However, in their discussions on whether to camp out or not, it is Harris who makes a sensible point by counting the difficulties one would face while camping on rainy and stormy nights. According to him, one faces several difficulties as the things that one carries get damp.
Like J, Harris too has an unusual attitude towards work. He has the tendency of taking the burden of the work on his shoulders and then passing the buck to other people. Unlike J, Harris takes delight in graves, tombs and monumental inscriptions. He goes m-ad to see the Mrs. Thomass tomb. He even mentions that he has come for the trip so that he could get to see Mrs. Thomas tomb.
MONTMORENCY
"Three Men in a Boat" is a story of three men who set out in a short holiday up the river Thames. They take their dog also with them. This dog is named Montmorency. He is a small fox terrier. He is a constant companion of the three men during the trip. He makes his presence felt everywhere. His behaviour and actions also contribute to the humour of 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 on the first day and fourteen fights on the 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 big 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.
Thus Montmoreny is as important a character as the thre friends.

Montmorency was the dog of three friends. These three friends were Jerome , George , Harris. Montmorency's ambition in life is to interfere with others and be abused.
He wants to be a perfect obstacle and make people mad. If things are thrown at his head and he feel his Day has not been wasted.
To that somebody to stumble over him and cause him sturdily for an hour is his biggest and highest aim and object.
He came and sat on things just when they were going to be packed. He who to his leg in to the jam and worried that is spoons and pretended that lemons virats and got into the hamper and killed three of them.
It is the natural Original Sin that is born in him that makes him to do things like that.
Harris :
