    It certainly was a good thing that Boxer's companions tried to warn him of his impending death. If Boxer had managed to escape from the knacker's van then, atleast the other animals would have protected him from Napoleon's plans to finish him off and would have cared for him till he died a natural death after his retirement:"If he made a good recovery, he might expect to live another three years, and he looked forward to the peaceful days that he would spend in the corner of the big pasture."
