Parry's account of his first Arctic voyage, like so many 19th-Century travel and exploration narratives, was illustrated. Above are two separate details of an image entitled "The Crews of H. M. S. Hecla and Griper Cutting into Winter Harbor, September 6, 1819." Four dogs are visible in these details; the standing dog in the left-hand image could well be the Newfoundland to which Parry refers.
