The following is something about the famous scientist Ernest Rutherford. Could you please explain what it means in simple English. In particular, is the fox-terrier representing Rutherford or the student? Thanks.

He always welcomed the eventual results with enthusiasm, and the anticipation of his praise made one young student 'understand exactly the feelings of a fox-terrier as, after killing a rat, he brings it into the house and lays it on the drawing-room carpet as an offering to his domestic gods.'
