Bendicò is the Prince’s faithful, beloved Great Dane; the Prince sometimes appears to be fonder of the dog’s company than of his family’s. After Bendicò dies, he is made into a rug. Concetta keeps the rug for most of her life but ultimately throws it away in a fit of disillusionment.

Chapter 8. Relics
Quotes
As the carcass was dragged off, the glass eyes stared at her with the humble reproach of things that are thrown away, that are being annulled. A few minutes later what remained of Bendicò was flung into a corner of the courtyard visited every day by the dustman. During the flight down from the window his form recomposed itself for an instant; in the air one could have seen dancing a quadruped with long whiskers, and its right foreleg seemed to be raised in imprecation. Then all found peace in a heap of livid dust.
