Whistler and his Dog

Composed by Arthur Prior but made famous by the late Sir Jimmy Shand (and it became a trad jazz band favorite as well).
To be played as a Two-Step, so on the slow side.

Now I'm trying to remember where I picked this one up from. I do know we had a slightly different way with it, which included the snap illustrated here in the heading, based on your transcription....
