The Mechanical Hound is a machine that is meant to track down and kill people who have gone against society (by having books or something like that). That is its only role.
We don't really know why the Hound growls at him -- it shouldn't do that unless it's programmed to. But when it growls at Montag, that shows us that Montag is becoming something of a dissident. He has been keeping books, but we don't know that yet.
The Hound growling at Montag is a foreshadowing of what is to come. It is a clue to us that he is doing something that would make the authorities unhappy with him.
