WHAT OPINION DID THE AUTHOR HELD ABOUT DOG MONTMORENCY ?

Initially, J believed Montmorency to be an angel from Heaven.

"When first he came to live at my expense, I never thought I should be able to get him to stop long.  I used to sit down and look at him, as he sat on the rug and looked up at me, and think: “Oh, that dog will never live.  He will be snatched up to the bright skies in a chariot, that is what will happen to him.”"
