"A grayhound is mentioned on the second page of the text as accompanying Tom, but evidently it was in the author's way for it was not again spoken of. The cover cut was apparently engraved from the early description and later re-engraved, for traces of an obliterated hound remain."--Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels, volume 1, page 186, no. 11.
