staghound

In her hand she carried a man's walking-stick, and by her side stalked a great black staghound.

She pulled off her heavy gloves and gave them, with the stick, to the staghound, which walked gravely away at once.

Then the staghound sprang up, snarling, his fangs bared, and the hair along his back bristling.

I thought I knew the bay, and could have sworn that the animal was a staghound, and a full-blooded brute at that.

It was fortunate for him that Mr Ross had some young dogs with a large strain of the Scottish staghound in them.
