Bill Sike's has a very mean white dog. The dog is used in several places in the novel, such as when Oliver is taken from Mr. Brownlow's home, to cause fear. I believe that the dog is a mirror of Sike's character. The dog is angry, mean, and very frightening. Sike's must be aware of this, because he tries to drown the dog. He is probably trying to get away from his own terrible self, and his actions by doing this. This idea is reinforced when Sike's dies, and the dog does not make it much longer.
