Our first clue that something was wrong when we heard a commotion in the front yard, and rushed to the door. We saw a cat, tearing though the front yard with Buster in close pursuit.

Now this was a problem, because part of the advantage of Buster over a regular watchdog, previously, was that his software did not include chasing cats. This would be only a distraction from his primary purpose, which was to be a watchdog and companion.

Not only that, but when daddy called Buster, in his best commanding voice, he did not answer, but continued chasing the cat through the neighborhood

We found its remains in the backyard the next day.

Our next clue that something was wrong....
