In fact, the mystery dog is the famous Rex, who is indeed the mascot of
Farallon Computing, Inc.  Rex just happens to be very good at
impersonating the RCA dog.

Actually, rumor has it that early tests of the sound capturing
capabilities of the MacRecorder involved Rex, who positively responded
to His Master's Voice (Reese Jones) issuing forth from the back of a
Mac...

Just another Mac legend --
