Rudolf Erich Raspe: Gulliver revived, London 1786 (R3)

It was a greyhound. I never had or saw a better one. He grew old in my service, and was not remarkable for his size, but rather for his uncommon swiftness. I always coursed with him. Had you seen him, you must have admired him, and would not have wondered at my predilection, and at my coursing him so much. He ran so fast, so much, and so long in my service, that he actually run off his legs, so that in the latter part of his life, I was under the necessity of working and using him only as a terrier, in which quality he still served me many years.

R3, S. 28-29
