Irony
The irony in the story "Barney" by Will Stanton lies in the contrast between the protagonist Barney's perception of his dog as a hero and the dog's ultimate reality as an ordinary pet. Despite Barney's belief in his dog's exceptional abilities, the dog's actions in the story highlight its limitations and reveal the disconnect between Barney's imagination and the dog's true nature. This contrast between expectation and reality creates a sense of irony in the narrative.
