It is shown that a metric continuum X is a dendrite if and only if for every compact space Y and for every light open mapping f : Y ->f(Y ) such that X c f(Y ) there is a copy X1 of X in Y for which the restriction fjX1 : X1 ->X is a homeomorphism. Another characterization of dendrites in terms of continuous selections of multivalued functions is also obtained.
