"outside of a dog"

[Baker, John M.]

        I checked the LA Times article via Historical Newspapers, and it
does not include the "outside of a dog" quip.

If someone has access to the LA Times archive, there is a 1942 story
written by Groucho entitled "My best friend is a dog", which might be
the source.
