Personification

Explanation:

Personification consists of giving human attributes to nonanimated objects or animals, often used in poetry to give readers new insights and make it more memorable. The author uses this literary device when it brings the yellow fog or the yellow smoke to life and endows it with a back, and muzzles and the ability to “rub” its parts.
