Hmm... should I repost Shadowfurry again? :)

I like the idea, they did something like this in 'punk 2020 with robohounds.
They can also make the cyberhound 'intelligent'. This got me thinking...

Scene : Monorail station. A man, wearing sunglasses, has a german shepard in
a harness for blind people. A kid steps behind the man, and tries to pick his
pocket.

The dog swings his head up, and says "I wouldn't do that. He's a black belt in
karate!" The kid feels a need to change his pants and runs.

The old man looks down to the dog. "How did you know?"

"You took me to class, remember?"

And on and on...

"It's not like talking with people. With people, anything can be said and
nothing matters. Words and words and words. You go to a party... people
sit around and say things. Anything. Just to talk. Put forth views and
debate them. Sometimes you get a new idea. Sometimes something changes"
