Because of Winn-Dixie is a delightful book about a lonely young girl who finds friendship in a dog. The main character, India Opal Buloni, finds a homeless dog and she and the dog go on to have a marvelous summer. Friendship between a young girl and her dog would seem to be the central theme in the book. However, when looked at through a psychoanalytic lens the book then has deeper underlining issues. When looked at psychoanalytically the novel takes on a whole new theme. The theme changes from friendship to abandonment and loss.

Throughout history portraits of dogs were showing up. People were beginning to see how dogs affected everyday living by showing it in their artwork. I love dogs which is why I chose to do a paper on them. Dogs are loyal, friendly, and good companions when you need them. They are furry friends you can trudge through the snow with you when your friends are sick. They are hamburger snatchers that leave you the bun while they walk off with the meat. They can be your alarm system letting you know someone’s on the property that’s not supposed to be there. Dogs have instincts that sense when bad weather is coming, and they let you know about it. Artist found all this out and showed it in their portraits.
The common emotion these two dogs caused the narrator is embarrassment.

In life, we have to let go of a certain thing to have a good future even if that certain thing is a dog that we loved and known our whole life. In the story of “When the Emperor was Divine” by Julie Otsuka, the the mother of the family killed their pet dog who was name White Dog. Did she kill White Dog because she is desperate? Worried they won’t be able to bring their dog to shelter? Unlimited amount of question raised in my head. But the reason why she kill White Dog is because she doesn't want to see him get hurt and she doesn’t trust anyone else to took care of him rather and her family.
... wildly, beating his little yellow wings against the wires" (259). When Joe is around Caesar, he threatens to take the dog off his chain and release him into the town. To Louisa, taking the dog off his chain symbolically relates to her being freed from the constraints Joe is putting on her. Because she, like the dog, have been alone for so long, it would be frightening to go out and experience new things. People tend to do what they know, and for fourteen years, Louisa and her pets have been accustomed to solitude. The man's influence is seen as disruptive since it threatens change on Louisa's life. The symbolism Freeman portrays between the pets and Louisa is immense and obvious. Because of this, it is easy for the reader to make such connections. Freeman's choices make this an easy to read story that appeals to all readers at all different skill levels.

In To Dance with the White Dog, there are several instances that show Sam's devotion and unchanging love for Cora. When Sam writes in his journal, at the beginning of the novel, "Today my wife died. We were married 57 good years" (Kay 9). Sam was completely devoted to his wife for over half a century and even after her death with his devotion to White Dog, who he perceived to be his deceased wife watching over him. Even though Satine was unable to pursue her love for Christian due to her death, her ambiguity towards her two suitors makes the viewer wonder if she could be as devoted to one love as Sam is devoted to his wife.
Because she knew, to feel loved by Sam as a working dog is not to be by her owner’s side but to be of his service—taking care of the farm. I also like the fact that the relationship between them in the latter part of the story developed from work restricted relationship to a more affectionate one’s. Sam and Rose both had indirectly agreed that their relationship should be strongly based on work related only. Which means, Sam hardly shown any affection towards Rose like a normal pet dog relationship would; and Rose was not fond of the idea of Sam petting her. It was really not her thing being a working dog. But when the blizzard came along, the relationship between Sam and Rose changed instantly and can be seen especially on Sam. Sam used to have this idea that Rose is nothing but a mere dog. When the guards tried to take him away from the farm and Rose because he was injured, he shouted for her to come along, he cried for her because she did not want to go with him, he didn’t want to let go of her but he had to. It was touching. I felt it deep down in my soul. The relationship of a man and a dog is real. It was there. I could not felt it earlier in the
