<P> Boxer cares and looks out for the other animals . One example of this is when all of the animals are hungry from the poor rations, and he gives away most of his food . He is mostly helpful in the places where the other animals are having difficulty . He does all his work loyally and faithfully . Boxer has various mottoes that define his personality, such as: "Napoleon is always right ." and "I will work harder ." He has been described as "faithful and strong"; he believes any problem can be solved if he works harder . </P> <P> Boxer is a bit dim - witted and can only remember four letters of the alphabet at a time, but sees the importance of education and aspires to learn the rest of the alphabet during his retirement (which never happens). Boxer is a loyal supporter of Napoleon, and he listens to everything the self - appointed ruler of the farm says and assumes, sometimes with doubt, that everything Napoleon tells the farm animals is true, hence "Napoleon is always right ." </P> <P> Boxer's strength plays a huge part in keeping the Farm together prior to his death: the rest of the animals trusted in it to keep their spirits high during the long and hard laborious winters . Boxer was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey . </P> <P> Boxer fights in the Battle of the Cowshed and the Battle of the Windmill, but is upset when he thinks he has killed a stable boy when, in fact, he had only stunned him. When Boxer defends Snowball's reputation from Squealer's revisionism, the pigs designate him as a target for the Great Purge, but he easily out muscles the dog executioners, sparing them at Napoleon's request . When he collapses from overwork, the pigs say they have sent him to a veterinarian, when they actually have sent him to the knacker's yard to be slaughtered, in exchange for money to buy a case of whiskey for the pigs to enjoy . </P>
