Answer # 2 (Historical Update)

The online Catholic Encyclopedia mentioned in the related link above is an excellent resource concerning the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit (Tobias), but unfortunately the Encyclopediawas compiled several decades before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran in the 1940s. For example, the authors of the Encyclopedia relate The original text, supposed to have been Hebrew, is lost; the reasons assigned for an Aramaic original warrant only a probable opinion that an Aramaic translation influenced our present Greek versions.

At the time, ca. 1913, this was true - the original texts were still lost. However, five original fragments from the Book of Tobit were found in Qumran cave 4, with four of the fragments in Aramaic, and one fragment in Hebrew. (Michuta 2007, p. 6) So at least part of the original Hebrew text has been recovered, and is no longer lost.
