Answer-
*The weight of his dog is * 96 pounds.
Solution-
Let's assume, weight of the Dylan's pet rabbit = x pounds, so weight of the Dylan's dog = 12x pounds,
The dog and rabbit weigh 104 pounds altogether, so
⇒ x + 12 x = 104
⇒ 13 x = 104
⇒ x = 13 104 ​
⇒ x = 8
So, the weight of rabbit is 8 pounds, and the weight of his dog is 8×12 = 96 pounds.

Dylan's dog weighs 96 pounds. This was found by setting the rabbit's weight as x pounds and using the relationship that the dog is 12 times heavier. Together, their weights total 104 pounds, leading to the calculation that x = 8 pounds for the rabbit.
