In "No Oyes Ladrar Los Perros?", Juan Rulfo, the omniscient narrator, creates a commentary on familial relationships.

His work includes many complex themes based of the relationship of a father and his son, Ignacio. The setting of the story is in the mountains as the father carries his son in search for a doctor in Tonaya. The main themes are the obligation that parents have to their children, the importance of the relationship between spouses, alienation and the death of the body. First, we observe the relationship between the father and Ignacio who commited many crimes. He even killed his godfather, Tranquilino. The father denies wanting to help his son and claims that it is his duty to carry Ignacio for the sake of his deceased wife. However, his actions reflect that he loves his son even though Ignacio has brought him nothing but pure shame. Secondly, we observe the importance of the relationship between a husband and his wife. Even though she is deceased, he tries to honor her wishes. When talking of her to his son, the father commemorates all her hard work. The wife is represented by the moon, the sole light guiding the father to Tonaya. She is a symbol of hope. The final theme is alienation between father and son and its connection to the death of the body. The conversation between the father and the son is minimal and the tone is cold. There is little warmth or sentiment between father and son. It is obvious that they do not have a close relationship. In the end, Ignacio dies leaving the father alone to hear the dogs bark. This final deception leaves the father completely alone. In the end, we find that the relationship between father and son is complex. It is full of duty, sadness, and deception. Ultimately, the son dies before reaching Tonaya. When his dad finds out that he told one final lie, he becomes bitter that Ignacio would not even try to live. The story ends with a discouraged, hopeless tone.
