Who is Fahkeen?

Fahkeen is the dog that adopts Maya as she is in transit to Chiloé and Manuel Arias. He is a stray who latches on to Maya in Ancud and despite his rough and mangy appearance, has the air of a posh lapdog. He loyally keeps her company, sleeps with her, and tries to protect her even from Officer Arana at the end of the novel.
