The correct answer is that he compares them to hounds (dogs).
Odysseus compares the behavior of Circe's wild beasts to dogs in order to emphasize their strange gentleness. This is because dogs can be tamed or domesticated and are thus gentle.

CASSIUS: Brutus, I do observe you now of late. I have not from your eyes that gentleness And show of love as I was wont to have. You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand Over your friend that loves
