Our dog ignores digital. Will not react to audio or video unless it is some loud noise and then he does not think the electronic device is making them. Put one of his favourite people on FaceTime and he will look at you asking “Why are you putting that thing in front of my face again?”

Ah yes, good old Harlen. I made the mistake of taking a girl to this movie, back in the '70s. Not well received. ( I hadn’t seen it either at that time, although given how much SF I read in those days probably had read the short story)

There is a followup graphic novel, illustrated by Corben. It doesn’t end well for the dog.

Can somebody please get the US military a copy of Vonnegut’s “Thomas Edison’s Shaggy Dog,” published in Welcome to the Monkey House? 'Cause hooking dogs up to technologies is a reeeeaaaaaallllly bad idea unless you’ve reeeeeeaaaaaalllly thought it through.

My wife saw it on a date that ended badly.
He was horrified by her maniacal laughter at the ending.
