Greetings,
For years now I have been trying to recall a Nabokov passage where
he speaks to a dog as if it were fetching a memory and returning
with it.
I remember that the dog returns triumphant.
My own inner dog has, however, never returned, and so I would be
grateful if someone can point me to the passage. I suspect it is in
Speak Memory.

EDNote: The passage requested is probably the one that links pp.
150, 151, & 152 (concerning "Floss", Collette's female fox
terrier) in the Vintage Int'l edition of Speak, Memory--not
exactly a fetch, but it does feel like one. -SB
