Subject: Re: RE "Till the last dog dies"

"Peanuts" goes back to the early '50s, as I well recall, so Charles
Schulz probably grew up with the "dog dies/is hung" phrase too; if DARE
dates it to 1902, Schulz could have heard it in the '30s, when he was
young. He's from St. Paul--any ideas on a regional origin for the
phrase?
