Just another lost dog?

"And me, said the dog" - I wonder where this phrase came from? When Danes include themselves in a story they're telling, they may choose to add it and thus attribute the very mentioning of their first person singular to some dog. Please don't hesitate to post a comment if you happen to know which dog and why.

(Og mig, sagde hunden? Torben Sangild (dk) has posted this same question more than a year ago, but to no avail.)

Professor Peder Skyum-Nielsen has, I believe, a very large head in which he stores all sorts of informations on phrases, allusions and slogans. Or else he simply wrote it all down in a very large book. The work in question is called 'Fyndord' (I give up on finding a translation here). Might be worth a look.
