You may be looking for the concept of a robot dog or K9.

An unidentified model of K9, who was often more bluntly referred to as the "robot dog", was the model of K9 that was owned by the actor Tom Baker, until he was eventually broken down for parts, though his brain was saved by a boy called Jack.

Biography

On 12 November 1969, the "robot dog" appeared in a dream of the newborn Paul Magrs, where he sniffed Tom Jones's crotch. (PROSE: In the Sixties)

In the 21st century, Omniverse-travelling actor Tom Baker entrusted his "robot dog" to the housekeeper of Baker's End, Fenella Frimbly. She was originally hesitant of the robot dog's arrival, and she was prepared to hit it with her cricket bat which she reserved for unwanted visitors, but she begrudgingly let the robot dog stay in Baker's End when it told her that it meant no harm. That night, the robot dog somehow made Fenella recall some painful memories before she met Baker, and she sent the dog out of the her bedroom, calling it a "hound from hell". The next morning, which was Christmas Day, the robot dog made it up to her by telling Fenella stories of his and his Master's travels, some of which Fenella thought she might've been present for. Soon, the dog raced out of the home, exclaiming that his Master had returned, and Fenella ran with youthful vigour along side the dog. (PROSE: Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary)

Fate

Sometime in the mid 1980s, the robot dog ended up being broken down into scrap at a market stall. It had been sixteen years since the dog last spoke to anybody. Jack, who went to the market regularly to collect volumes of the Books of Mayhem, found the robot dog in a sorry state in the summertime, when he was thirteen. Over the next few weeks, Jack and the dog became friends, but every time Jack visited the dog, he was losing more and more parts, until one day, Jack was horrified to discover that the robot dog had been dismantled so much, only his brain remained. Jack took the brain, and upon the dog's instruction, downloaded the robot dog's memory onto CDs before the brain deteriorated. (PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound)

Personality

In the dream of newborn Paul Magrs, the robot dog was referred to as stern. (PROSE: In the Sixties) During the robot dog's time in Baker's End, the robot dog was expressive, being able to show characteristics such as helplessness and curiosity. He was polite as well. After Fenella sent the robot dog out of her room, she noted that the dog looked sad, although that later that morning, the dog spoke cheerfully. (PROSE: Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary)

Towards the end of his initial life, the robot dog became more pensive and philosophical, though he thought highly of himself, considering his mortality and questioned ideas such as fate. (PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound)
