Steve Rude also sent me these b&w xeroxes 10-15 years ago (one of these days I hope to find these in color)...
Harry autographed that illustration in 1988 when Steve visited him, and Harry told Steve that the dog was a real challenge to do!
Steve Rude also sent me this one... someday I'd like to see it in color...
