Answers
Montmorency was Jerome's dog, a fox terrier who accompanied him on his trips. He did not like the idea of going up the river because most terriers regard the water with deep misgivings. Dogs generally do not like to get wet.
Though Montmorency's ambition in life was to get in the way and be sworn at. And the author used to say that it is the natural, original sin that is born in him that makes him do things like that. There were many incidents which made Montmorency an endearing character. Incidents like his encounter with the kettle, the fight with other dogs, the cat chase, and his other antics provided entertainment to the three men. So the author said that every Englishman has an element of a dog within him.
