However, John Lydgate, in his retelling of the fable earlier in the century, had used "reflexion" instead. [9] In his French version of the story, La Fontaine gave it the title Le chien qui lâche sa proie pour l'ombre (The dog who relinquished his prey for its shadow VI.17), [10] where ombre has the same ambiguity of meaning.
I can imagine that there are also variations in whether the dog is a "he", a "she" or an "it". I see that there's still a bit of inconsistency: the page title is "The Dog and Its Reflection" but the lead has it as "The Dog and its Reflection". And the Commons link uses "The Dog and the Bone". So it still needs a bit of sorting out.

A Man and His Dog (German: Herr und Hund; also translated Bashan and I) is a 1918 narrative by Thomas Mann. It describes the adventures of the narrator with his dog Bauschan (Bashan) in the nature surrounding the author's home in Munich. It was written in the twilight of World War I and portrays an idealised and timeless world.
The book is told from the standpoint of a poor household pet, a dog self-described by the first sentence of the story: "My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian." The story begins with a description of the dog's life as a puppy and her separation from her mother, which to her was inexplicable.
The dog describes his life of ease and invites the wolf to join him. As they go on their way, the wolf asks why the fur about the dog's neck is worn away. He replies that it is merely caused by the collar he has to wear at home. The wolf then leaves him, declaring that a full belly is a poor price to pay for liberty.
