Seriously, the cover on my old copy doesn't have it either, but it sure seems like I remember it being there. Maybe it's one of those hidden perceptual things? I dunno, I can't explain it.

I also checked out Goldmine Record Album Guide - they say nothing about with/without dog. I think if there were differences, the serious record collectors would be all over it.

I guess the dog is gone. It was there for a while, though. I remember it,

b0b - I had an old tom cat that was like that. He would hang around the house for a couple of weeks and then disappear. A couple of months later he would show up again. Maybe your dog will show up again one of these days.

Or maybe aliens from outer space have planted this idea in all of our minds simultaneously.
