Sincerity and love for the master is ingrained in his blood. Rex, whom Thurber proudly stated as American bull-terrier had a gentle disposition .He never bit a person during his ten years’ life, nor ever growled at any one except prowlers. He never ran barking after wagons or automobiles. The characterisation of Rex in Thurber’s Snapshot of a Dog is nostalgic and a phenomena of its kind. Thurber was emotional, nostalgic, proud and with much pleasure present his reminiscences about his pet dog even after twenty five years of its death.

Nostalgic, reminiscences, faithful, humorous.
