rumble that seemed to come from the earth and so full of menace...". The text also states "There was a head and a back, and as my eyes became accustomed to the dark I could see that it had scraggly, scruffy hair and two eyes that glowed yellow.". Then later Paulson learned that Dirk wasn't a scary dog  but that it was a street dog just like he was a street kid and for reason they had a connection. "He didn’t seem to be any particular breed. Just big and rangy, right on the edge of ugly, though I would come to think of him as beautiful. He was Airedale crossed with hound crossed with alligator.
Alley dog. Big, tough, mean alley dog." then later it says "I had two boxes of Ritz crackers I’d hustled somewhere, a jar of peanut butter and another one of grape jelly, and a knife from the kitchen upstairs. I would smear a cracker, hand it to him—he took each one with great care and gentleness—and then eat one myself. We did this, back and forth..." this proves that they had a very deep connection. It also says in the text "He followed me. Not close, perhaps eight feet back, but matching my speed." This proves that the dog feels a connection just as much as Paulsen.
