if dogs and cats hate each other, and cats and mice hate each other, why are the dogs the good guys and the cats and mice the bad guys? according to the old saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", shouldn't the mice be good guys too?
The cats and mice are basically competing criminal gangs (like urban gangs). That's why the dogs don't like either one of them.
Just think of the old cliche of stray cats yowling in the alley while they chase the dirty rats running around in the trash. Meanwhile, the nice 'civilized' dogs live inside of houses and keep busy chasing the ruffians out.

They're not mice, they're rats. No one has anything good to say about rats. In Marleybone dogs are at the top of the social order.
