"Give a human face to this dog son of a wolf, and it will be Javert."

that guy has reached a critical mass of dog comparisons per sentence

Literally a dog. He's Valjean's dog so that's also gay and we love that. Direct quotes from the book: "Javert, serious, was a watchdog." "When he had so unexpectedly encountered Jean Valjean on the banks of the Seine, there had been in him something of the wolf which regains his grip on his prey, and of the dog who finds his master again." "...to be the watch-dog, and to lick the intruder's hand!"

His entire storyline is that he is the law's faithful hunting dog. His storyline revolves around chasing and hunting down this one man. And when he finally comes face to face with him he forsakes his original master and is torn apart by his loyalty and his sense of justice

Alexis Ness

Another character literally calls him a dog or puppy several times, and treats him like he owns him. He's also extremely loyal and eager to please.

Éponine Thénardier

Literally acts as a guard dog when her father tries to rob a house. "If you approach, I'll bark. I told you, I'm the dog."

Eddie Diaz
