 "Love in the Ruins," by Walker Percy, features a neighbor's dog (Samoyed, 
  I believe) whom the protagonist nicknames "Rosebud" because of his (the
  dog's) rosy aspect from abaft.

	Do you mean the "orange-colored brute with a spitz face and a
plume of a tail which curves over his back exposing a large convoluted
anus"?  THAT Rosebud appears in Percy's THE MOVIEGOER.
