What was the name of the dog in K-9? - in detail
The television series "K-9" is a spin-off from the popular British science fiction show "Doctor Who," focusing on the adventures of K-9, an intelligent and robotic dog created by Professor Marius. K-9's origin can be traced back to the original Doctor Who series where he was introduced as a companion to the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker). In "K-9," the show follows the exploits of K-9 Mark II, the upgraded version of the original robotic dog. The name "K-9" itself is derived from the phonetic alphabet, where "K" stands for "Canine." This naming convention reflects his primary function as a canine-like robot designed to assist and protect his human companions.
