Must find name of story - doglike on Saturn

I am desperately trying to find the name of a short story I remember
from my childhood. It is about a group of scientists on, I believe,
Saturn, and one by one they keep dissapearing. Finally, one scientist
(whose point of view we share) goes out of the space station to find
his colleagues. His adaption to the harsh Saturnian environment
transforms him into a wonderful doglike creature, loping along in the
rain, and it is so wonderful, he cannot bear to return to his clumsy
human form. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Any help is appreciated!!

Sounds like Poul Anderson's "Call Me Joe", though as I recall that was
set on Jupiter.

Also, a section of Clifford Simak's fixup novel _City_ has doglike
beings on Jupiter.
