What was the name mad dog Atticus shot in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

Question

It is from the book "To Kill A Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee

Answer 1

Tim Johnson, I believe:

"Beyond the mockingbird image, Lee continues bird symbolism in the case of the bird dog, Tim Johnson. Tim is “the pet of Maycomb,” but one day the children discover him acting strangely. Calpurnia confirms that the dog is very sick, and consequently, very dangerous. Although the children recognize that the dog’s behavior is odd, he doesn’t look mad to them. Mad dogs are supposed to have certain characteristics, as Scout testifies when she says, “Had Tim Johnson behaved thus, I would have been less frightened.” Significantly, Scout will learn that the town behaves much like Tim Johnson during Tom’s trial."

Answer 2

Mad Dog Shot

Answer 3

Tim Johnson is an old dog who wanders Maycomb County as the community pet until it gets Rabies and Atticus has to shoot it to save the neighborhood. Before this moment, Scout and Jem think their dad is feeble and lacking any sort of impressive talents, but this moment changes their mind about Atticus. They learn that he can shoot, but he doesn't take advantage of this talent because he doesn't want to brag, and he considers it an unfair advantage over the animals he'd be hunting.

Answer 4

I believe the dog is nameless just refered to as mad dog. It's Harry Johnson's dog. This is when the kids discover their father is one-shot-finch

Answer 5

"It's just Tim. He's gone lopsided, that's all" -Scout

Answer 6
