Yes it was Jacqui, and it was an unofficial mascot is all I know. Graney was Canadian so maybe the Dog had a Canadian name like Mountie. :D

Damn it. It was Larry. "Jack Graney's Larry, the Bull Terrier Mascot of the Cleveland Team from 1912-1917."

The dog's name was Larry......named after their manager and star Napoleon
"Larry" Lajoie. The dog was owned by team member Jack Graney, who was also a
great friend of Joe Jackson's. The dog was something else by all indications
and the team loved him dearly.....so much so....that he is in a few of their
team photos from that era.

Jack Graney interviewing, Lou Boudreau, and Rollie Hemsley.

In addition to being the first former player to become a play-by-play broadcaster, Cleveland's Jack Graney was the first to think up the idea of players wearing numbers on their uniforms (although the Indians abandoned it after limited use and the Yankees later got the credit for starting it up because theirs lasted). Graney also has the distinction of being the first man (as the Indians' leadoff hitter) to bat against Babe Ruth (Red Sox pitcher) in a Major League game.
