We got an old tin lantern, and a butcher-knife without any handle, and a bran-new Barlow knife worth two bits in any store, and a lot of tallow candles, and a tin candlestick, and a gourd, and a tin cup, and a ratty old bedquilt off the bed, and a reticule with needles and pins and beeswax and buttons and thread and all such truck in it, and a hatchet and some nails, and a fishline as thick as my little finger with some monstrous hooks on it, and a roll of buckskin, and a leather dog-collar, and a horseshoe, and some vials of medicine that didn't have no label on them; and just as we was leaving I found a tolerable good curry-comb, and Jim he found a ratty old fiddle-bow, and a wooden leg.
Could she not see now that her heart had said "I love you" even as he looked up from that peccant dog-collar, the source of all the mischief? That was what began it.
I give the things to the dog, while the Doctor's away, and the dog gives them to the other animals." "And what was that curious collar he was wearing round his neck?" "That's a solid gold dog-collar," said Matthew. "It was given to him when he was with the Doctor on one of his voyages long ago. He saved a man's life." "How long has the Doctor had him?" I asked.

I thought I was dans le mouvement up to my dog-collar, but I know nothing about the phenomenon. Where does it belong to?" "Wonderland," said Elliot, in a gravely romantic voice. "That's the land I've never seen, although I've had the yacht for so many years." "Nor I!" said Paul Lane. "I don't believe it exists, or we must have been there. We have both been everywhere."
T.J. De Yampert, merchant, Mobile, Alabama, of the firm of De Yampert, King & Co., in the "Mobile Chronicle," June 15, 1838.

Her pearl dog-collar, her diamond ear-rings, her dark red fringe and the other details of her toilette were put on with the same precision when she dined alone with Sir Charles as if she were going to a ceremonious reception.

"Do you remember," I asked the newcomer, "selling a collar to a young lady recently no, some long time ago a dog-collar, I mean?" The proprietor shrugged his shoulders. "I sell a good many dog-collars during the year," he answered.
And that coarse-grained solicitor chap at the creditors' meeting curling his lip as much as to say: 'One foot in the grave! He had seen the clerks dowsing the glim of their grins; and that young pup Bob Pillin screwing up his supercilious mug over his dog-collar. He knew that scented humbug Rosamund was getting scared that he'd drop off before she'd squeezed him dry.
The same old musket my father afterwards gave to Harry and me, the discoverers of the smugglers' cave; and Harry relinquished all his rights in it to me.
