Dogmatix's debut

Dogmatix first appears outside a Butcher's shop in Lutetia. This information is in the "compelete guide to Asterix" but the frame isn't there. Apparently, Dogmatix was drawn as a stray outside the shop waiting for scraps, who follows Obelix for the rest of the book. The dog is supposed to be discreet, and in the book, the dog IS pretty hard to notice, because there are a lot of elements around in crowded Lutetia. But once they get back to the villiage, it sticks to obelix. The hunt is on for the first frame where Obelix acknowledges the presence of the dog.

Note: Dogmatix is on the cover of the next book in series, Asterix in Corsica, but the problem here is that dogmatix's first appearence is apprently in Asterix and the Banquet, which is the twenty third book in the series, and chronologically, Dogmatix makes an appearence in book 2 itself, Asterix in Spain. So donno exactly how everything fits together BUT, dogmatix is not seen in the banquet till the frame above.
