Answer:

In George Orwell's allegorical novella Animal Farm, Napoleon, a Berkshire boar, assumes responsibility for the education of the puppies. This act is not out of benevolence but a calculated move to consolidate his power.
He takes nine young puppies away from their mothers soon after their birth, claiming he will provide them with a special education. In reality, he trains them in seclusion to be his personal, loyal, and terrifying guard dogs.
These puppies, once grown, become Napoleon's private army, acting as his enforcers and bodyguards. They are used to intimidate, suppress dissent, and eliminate opposition, most notably driving Snowball off the farm.

The character of Napoleon is a direct allegory for Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union. Just as Stalin used the secret police (like the NKVD/KGB) to maintain his authoritarian regime, Napoleon uses the dogs to terrorize the other animals into submission.
The dogs represent the brutal and unquestioning force used by totalitarian regimes to enforce their will and crush any form of rebellion or independent thought.
This strategic move by Napoleon highlights the theme of corruption of power and how a revolutionary ideal (Animalism) can be twisted into a tyrannical dictatorship.
