The word puppies here are compared to the Odysseus’s men who are being exploited by the Cyclops.
The simile in the passage shows how helpless are Odysseus’s men in the clutches of Cyclops.
They are unable to do anything and are thus compared to innocent animals that cannot d anything other than being exploited.
