...Franciscan cowled in black stooped under the lintel and strode into the chamber, followed by a waddling friar and--was it a dog? The Vagabond eyed the Beast fearfully, the hound-like body, the leathery gray hide maculate with patches of glinting hairs, the beak, the swinging pink teats, its ebon Veneficium of Amor between almond eyes. The Beast slunk to the hearth where the Franciscan had established himself comfortably. "Be thou not afraid," the Holy Man intoned softly. "We are of the World Spirit, to comfort such as thou." Further events the Vagabond shall never recall clearly...
...Werner, who has done some fine work for the Hound and Horn now takes over the rather easy duty of a thinking man, that of showing up Radio City. This is probably the last word that need be said on this thing, the Radio City, "conceived in the lush days. . . the posthumous child of Coolidge Prosperity". It is a strong one, and wastes no time salaaming to that super-dreamer, Mr. Rothapfel. The cool reception of Roxy's first programs may have disillusioned John D.

In their veins runs the blood of abandoned or runaway pets-German shepherd, Airedale, collie, hound. Members of one pack are apparently crossed chow and hound, look like big red foxes...
...Great Dane Gunar von Hollergarten, best working dog. Then came liver & white Norman of Hamsey, an English Springer Spaniel who had barely beaten out famed old English Setter Blue Dan of Happy Valley for best gun dog. The ribs and muscles of snow-white Greyhound Boveway Beau Brummel, best hound, looked like delicately chiseled marble. His kinky jet hair and the crimson ribbon on his topknot made French Poodle Whippendell Poli of Carillon, best non-sporting dog, look like a Harlem belle. The sixth dog was a magnificent black & tan Airedale, Warland Protector of Shelterock, best terrier, just arrived...
