SOURCE: At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs (All-Story Weekly, April 4-25, 1914)
DESCRIPTION:"The thing's body was as large as that of a full-grown mastiff, its legs were short and powerful, and its jaws broad and strong. Dark, shaggy hair covered its back and sides, while its breast and belly were quite white. As it slunk toward us it presented a most formidable aspect with its upcurled lips baring its mighty fangs..." (At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs)
NOTES: The Jaloks are the dogs of Pellucidar. David Innes had a pair of them as pets.
HISTORY: Burroughs was such a dog lover that he had to have a dog pet for his heroes. John Carter has Woola. Innes has Raja.
