The [[Fourth Doctor]] found that K9 had contracted laryngitis and had lost his voice as a result of this. K9 was left in [[the TARDIS]] while the Doctor and [[Romana II]] battled the [[Dalek]]s and [[Davros]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]'') During a later adventure, he remained patiently in [[the TARDIS]], which would imply that his voice had not yet returned. ([[TV]]: ''[[City of Death]]'') After his voice returned, it sounded quite different and remained so for a while ([[TV]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit]]'') before the familiar voice returned.

This K9 exhibited the ability to sense and warn others of danger. He was also more mobile than his predecessor, despite his problems with the swamps of Delta III, able to lift himself up on small support rods so that he could climb stairs ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadow of Weng-Chiang (novel)|The Shadow of Weng-Chiang]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Power of Kroll]]'', ''[[The Armageddon Factor]]'') The Doctor often used | This K9 exhibited the ability to sense and warn others of danger.

While caught up in a [[Time war]] between the past and the future on the planet [[Aoris]], K9 was forced to spend a thousand years hidden on the planet, setting himself up as 'the great Machina' so that he could found a cult that would aid the Doctor and Romana in bringing the war to an end, hiding behind a fake computer with a version of the TARDIS until he could return to the Doctor and Romana once the war ended ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Paradox Planet (audio story)|The Paradox Planet]]'', ''[[Legacy of Death (audio story)|Legacy of Death]]''). | While caught up in a [[Time war]] between the past and the future on the planet [[Aoris]], K9 was forced to spend a thousand years hidden on the planet, setting himself up as 'the great Machina' so that he could found a cult that would aid the Doctor and Romana in bringing the war to an end, hiding behind a fake computer with a version of the TARDIS until he could return to the Doctor and Romana once the war ended ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Paradox Planet (audio story)|The Paradox Planet]]'', ''[[Legacy of Death (audio story)|Legacy of Death]]''). | ||

A third model, [[K9 Mark III]] (again either obtained or constructed by the Doctor) was shipped in [[1978]] to [[Sarah Jane Smith]] at the home she had shared with her [[Lavinia Smith|Aunt Lavinia]] in [[South Croydon]] during her companionship of the [[Third Doctor|Third]] and Fourth Doctors.

([[TV]]: ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]'') Since parting ways with the Doctor ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear (TV story)|The Hand of Fear]]'') however, Sarah Jane had already gone away and was travelling extensively. [[1979|The following year]], Lavinia purchased a manor house and market garden in [[Moreton Harwood]], Gloucester, and took the still crated K9 with her. On [[18 December]] [[1981]], Sarah Jane and her foster brother [[Brendan Richards]] arrived at Lavinia's home for Christmas, but Lavinia had left early for her lecture series in the United States. Sarah Jane opened the crate and received her new companion. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]'') | ||
K9 helped Sarah Jane to defeat Moreton Harwood's murderous [[Hecate Cult]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]'') ''Circa'' 1983, K9 Mark III and Sarah Jane lived in semi-detached house where their gate bore a "beware of dog" sign and Sarah Jane permitted him outside unconcealed. Sensing danger, he advised Sarah Jane to either not go out, or to take him with her. She declined, and K9 thus did not accompany her to Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') K9 accompanied Sarah to an archaeological dig in Egypt.

He did not use contractions such as "you've" for "you have" and addressed others by titles such as "Master", "Mistress", "Doctor-Master" (to refer to the Doctor) or "Young Master" ([[Adric]], [[Starkey]] and in one instance, [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]]).

He usually did not engage in [[computer]]-like literal thinking, though on one occasion he followed Romana's instructions to "forget it" to the letter and erased all knowledge of [[tennis]] from his memory banks.
