That'd actually be the "rat thing" guard dog in Snow Crash. ;)
I can't remember the exact quote, but when someone comments on how horrible it is to cyberize a dog, its creator says something to the effect of "People keep saying that, but nobody asks the dog." Jump-cut to a couple pages from the point of view of the dog, which (relative to its past life on the street) is incredibly happy with its new function.
Let's get some good fiction with optimistic views of robot animals, mmkay writers? ;)
