In Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451," the Mechanical Hound growls at Montag on page 24. The Hound is a robotic creature programmed to track down and eliminate individuals who possess illegal books. Its growling at Montag serves as a warning sign of the dangers he faces as a book-loving individual in a dystopian society where books are banned.
