CyberDog
http://www.cyberdog.org/ Apple's abandoned HyperCard-ish OpenDoc-based web, news, ftp, gopher email client. Which some people apparently still use. [land, Mar 28 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]
Man's Best Friend
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0107504 A biological rather than cybernetic approach to this problem, gets loose and kills people. Stars Lance Hendriksen, who should have known better, and Ally Sheedy, who, believe it or not, should have known better too. [Uncle Nutsy, Mar 28 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]

This suggestion makes me shiver in horror. It's like bad sci-fi come to life. |
|

Actually, it IS from sci-fi, Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" (a fairly entertaining read, btw). For now, just buy Sony's Aibo dog. |
|
|
Or download it (see link...). Of course, it's no longer supported... |

Interesting idea, but the guard dog with mace and taser is a bit of a concern. They'd need a lot of training, or you might get maced just because Fido or Prince is happy to see you. |

also wallace and grommit-a close shave |

Am I the only one having trouble visualizing the massage implants? Would this be a dog with Sharper Image type appendages? Or could you lie down on top of the dog -- perhaps while it is in "rest" mode -- and get a full massage table treatment? Either way is a little creepy. |

Damn, *I* wanted to be the smart cookie who mentioned *Snow Crash*. Damn, I say! |

I want cybernetic implants, but only if they are compatible with my bagel and cream cheese. |
