There are probably *no* stories.
Here's what David wrote to me, a few weeks ago:

<<
     For many years we inducksers have called Hard Haid Moe's dog  
"Hannibal Hound Dog." This came about because the dog was called  
Hannibal in several different European translations of S 64099. Since  
the name Hannibal is common in English, we concluded that  
it must be his English first name, and that the other publications  
took it from the original.
     Since all other S-coded stories called the character just Hound  
Dog or Houn' Dawg, we took that to be his surname. Thus, Hannibal  
Hound Dog.
     We should eliminate "Hannibal" in the English name [in INDUCKS].

And that's what we did. The Houn' dawg is not called Hannibal anymore in
Inducks.
Until we have proof of an English text with that name.
