#and benvolio being super protective of his
How many Shakespeare characters canonically had dogs I need to know.
I know Hotspur, and then Theseus had a bunch of hunting dogs that were really fancy hunting dogs and then one of the Mechanicals had a dog too. Maybe. I think it was Starveling (Moonshine) in the play but it could have belonged to any of them.
From there I don’t really remember. I feel like someone had one in Lear?
Beatrice has a dog! “I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.”
This is good
Hotspur and Beatrice bond over rather hearing their dogs bark than people be annoying.
Also historically Richard II had a greyhound named Mathe.Don’t forget the most famous Shakespeare dog, and the only one who appears onstage – Launce’s dog Crab from Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Benvolio had a dog, Mercutio Claims Benvolio argued with a man who coughed and woke his dog.
