C150. Baer (p. 142). When Brother Rabbit was King

This is Chase150.

Types ATU0200B why dogs sniff one another
Motifs
A2471.6 why dog is always looking
K1014.2 pepper rubbed on injured skin
Notes

See Chase128 for peppers.

Baer comments: "This tale is probably related to Grimm 223 although it has been modified to conform to Rabbit trickster tales."

=============

Nothing about Aesop? Ashliman does not have a Grimm 223 so I am not sure what story she has in mind; Aesop is one of the ATU200 variants. I wonder how it ended up in this story context...?
