description Anthropomorphization is a key category for discussing the depiction of the animal world in the novel and TV series Four Tankmen and a Dog. This applies to both individual specimens of portrayed species as well as to the structure of, and divisions prevailing in, the animal world. In other words, relations in the animal world sometimes mirror those in the human world. Animals are not treated as autonomous entities. Both their behaviour in performing various tasks and the way they are talked about indicate that even a creature as brilliant as Szarik, whose uncanny intellect would have him easily fit in a fairy tale, is ultimately treated as subservient to man (or perhaps him especially, seeing that, as his master’s magical assistant, it is ultimately his calling). Dogs, horses, cows — they are there to serve humans in various ways, and their anthropomorphic representations only further this notion. The same principle applies to wild animals — killing them provides one with food and clothing, but it is also shown as a test of manhood, as well as a skill that is most useful for a prospective soldier. The only being in the novel and series that could be subjugated or defeated by humans (or dogs), and is equally reluctant towards all strangers entering its territory, is the cat.
