Doctor Who has had many companions over the years.  He seldom travels alone.  But in all the years the time lord has been galavanting around the cosmos, he has only ever had one animal companion.  That companion was K9, the super-intelligent robot dog.  Now you too can have your very own robot dog companion, and he comes with these great features:

 

Each quarter-scale K9 is full of lush, accurate details. From the light up eye unit and back panel to the extendable nose blaster, this R/C K9 was made to be the next best thing to owning a real K9 unit. And just like the real thing, the R/C K9 is not a quiet robot; the only difference is that you are complete control of his 7 audible phrases. Heck, even K9's satellite-dish ears wiggle when he moves. This is more than just a great toy, this is a life companion - ready to serve you. "Affirmative, Master."

If you've never seen an episode of Dooctor Who with K9 in it, that's understandable. He was a regular on the show back in the 70's and has only appeared once on the new version of the show.  However, he's a regular on the Doctor Who spinoff series The Sarah Jane Adventures.  Here's a great clip of K9 playing chess with the Doctor.
