I can't wait until Amazon launches genetically modified pets that try to sell you things.

Dog opens it's mouth and speaks pre-programmed phrase. "Show how much you love your pet and buy Amazon premium++ dog food, now half price!"

See Ellison's A Boy and His Dog. Vic's dog Blood expects lots more than "premium++ dog food".
