What’s the point of the three dogs? To have the nine puppies. Well, that’s the point of two of them, anyway. Interestingly, the dogs, who have teeth and strength and all that good stuff (as demonstrated by the nine dogs), don’t make any attempt to rebel against the manipulative pigs. Why? They are not aware of their own strength. This seems to be a universal problem in Animal Farm.
