i dont have the book any more i gave it back in

I had always assumed four, but never gave it much thought. Any reason it would have something other than four?

"Light flickered on bits of ruby glass and on sensitive capillary hairs in the nylon-brushed nostrils of the creature that quivered gently, gently, its eight legs spidered under it on rubber-padded paws." (p. 24, Ballantine Books 50th Anniversary Edition)

Now we know how to post pictures to this message board, I can summon up this depiction of the Mechanical Hound (from the UK stage premiere of F451 last year):



I'm not sure how many legs this version has!
