This image represents the idea that you should not judge a book by its cover. I think this idea is important throughout Freak the Mighty. Max has grown up with people around him thinking he is like his father, because he is large and tough looking. They also don't think he is very smart. Only Freak sees another side to him.
The same is also true of Kevin "Freak", because he has a physical disability people judge him. Of course, it turns out he is tougher and braver than most people expect. He is also the smartest person Max knows.
I chose this image to represent loyalty. Dogs are supposed to be "man's best friend" and from my experience they are definitely loyal. In Freak the Mighty, it is a story about a special friendship, but most importantly, I think it is about loyalty. Freak and Max are best friends and both prove it at different points in the story. Freak loads up his water gun (my favourite part) and comes to Max's rescue. Max stays at the hospital when Freak is sick even though there is nothing he can do.
