Yes... ;^)
Actually it was in Trent & Evi's first SA book (along with the dog stor
y).
But, I don't recall seeing it in the second (red) one. But, I might
have glossed over it.
Then again all the books might be gelling in my head to seem one big ma
ss
and I could be WAY OFF...

I think you are correct that the text about Biff, the dog and the
command, doesn't appear in the 2nd edition of USAH. However, you might
note that on the cover cartoon (RED book) there is a tombstone with the
name "Biff" on it... Biff, the dog, passed away between the publication
of the 1st and 2nd edition.
RIP, Biff.
