Anyone here once had a Mining Monkey and still has Screenshots?

So, as you may or may not know I am a Youtuber who makes a lot of content about Hunter Pets and I am working on a Video about Unintended Hunter Pets that got removed or changed later on.
And there once was a Monkey with a Pickaxe, but I can't find any images online of the Monkey being an actual Hunter Pet.
Anyone here who can help out?

There may be a few pics of it on here, but it was first discovered on the Cata Beta around Sep 2010 and it was hotfixed out (we never told why but speculated that it was due to attack animation issues?) in early 2011. So, they only existed for a short time period. And a lot of posters link to image hosting sites rather than upload images here, so most of those are now broken.
I posted one pic in Deadmines here:

... but it's not great quality.

You could tame it normally, but it had no attack animations and thus was a huge DPS loss. Of all the glitch pets I kept I never bothered to go grab a monkey I'm afraid, and it was impossible to do so with the MoP method due to being in a dungeon and thus unduelable.
