Is there a possessive pronoun for it? Is it "its"? In some books and web pages it is not considered. If it exists, could you please give some examples?

Thanks a lot Casiopea. But when you say "its tail" you are talking about possessive adjectives, but I thought in this exmple inspired on yours: "Look at that dog, it is chasing its tail. Yeah! but look here, mine is chasing its." Is it possible, is it correct? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Yes:
I sleep in my bed and the dog sleeps in its.
I chase my tail and the dog chases its.

Tdol and Casiopea thank you very much. I really appreciate your help. Why do you think that in some publications and web sites the possessive pronoun "its" is not included?
Can you give me an example of a website? It's less commonly used, but I see no reason for omitting it.
Here you are, Tdol: Possessive Pronouns, in this website "its" is not included as possessive pronoun. Thanks for your help.
They are lumping the pronouns and adjectives (though some call them determiners not adjectives) together. I honestly don't know why- it can be used as a pronoun, though it isn't very common.
