unexplained behavior of the dog (spoiler)


In the episode where the guest is dying of cancer, the dog won't stop barking at him. Is this meant to convey that the dog knows his physical state?

The episode was called The Outsiders. The man was treated as a pariah by the staff and it seemed Fred shared their snobbery. He was a quiet, inoffensive man with a good heart and I couldn't see why they were so set against him. My first thought was they supposed him to be Jewish.

No remember the staff were as snobby as Louisa was. they treated as badly as they did at first because he was 'working class'.
