"A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face." (Sansa II, ACoK)

sandor unwittingly stating that he is sansa's dog now. he says a hound does not lie to his masters, and yet right in the beginning of acok we see him lying to joffrey on sansa's behalf to save her from his wrath. he was the only one in the king's guard who had the guts to say "enough" when he saw sansa getting beaten by grown men in front of the whole court, like a hound that chooses to side with the prey instead of the hunter. we see him disobey orders and abandon a crucial battle because he realized he was unwilling to fight and die for his supposed masters, but then he went to sansa with the intent of taking her away with him knowing that she was the lannisters' most valuable hostage and thus having her would put a huge target on his back. the hound was ready to die for sansa, and he never lied to her (but was willing to lie for her).
