Exit Francisco. Enter Horatio, Marcellus.

Horatio: What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
Enter Ghost
Marcellus: Look where it comes again.
Horatio: By Heaven, I charge thee, speak. Stay and Speak!
Barnardo: 'Tis here.
Exit Ghost
Marcellus: 'Tis gone
Horatio: Let us impart what we have seen tonight unto young Hamlet.
They Exit

Barnardo, Marcellus, Francisco- Dogs- because they are the guards that guard the castle and the people inside like dgos who protect and watch over the other farm animals
Horatio- Rabbit- because Horatio is quick to deny this ghost and quick to suggest Hamlet to speak to it after the ghost leaves
