“Aye, the Dog-killer’s got another one,” said the Bulldog gloomily.

“He looks fine, Reggie!” yipped his fellow stray, a rangy lurcher mix. Both watched as a human and a curly-haired spaniel walked through the door down the street, greeting the old woman.

“That place is death for dogs!” Reggie growled. “Mark my words, Dorcas – that poor little blighter is doomed.”

That's sad! And they didn't even know about the Hound.

It’s a dog’s life...

I always forget at the beginning that the spaniel's going to die... ^^"

I do love Reggie and Dorcas though - including their names ^___^

They know about Mrs. Hudson's dog getting poisoned, though.

Yeah - and smart dogs steer clear of Sherlock Holmes stories.

That poor dog - the only casualty on the good guy's side. I covered that poor creature's demise in this earlier offering (https://sherlock60.livejournal.com/513879.html).

I had fun giving a pair of street-mutts posh-sounding names!
