I felt sorry for Uggug. He reminded me of a dog I have come across at the off-leash park. Its owner is obviously clueless about any idea of training on recall, not jumping on people, or anything else, so the dog is an absolute pest. But it isn't the dog's fault that it doesn't know how to behave.
It's a very strange book indeed. Had he not been famous for the Alice books, I doubt that it would have been published.

Uggug reminds me of Dudley Dursley.
