Muffet

Muffet is a dog-like (dagget) robot built for the young boy Boxy in the series Battlestar Galactica when his real flesh and blood one died during a Cylon attack.

The creature is actually filmed using a rather intelligent chimp. It is very cute, and in some episodes - most notably the one where there is a serious fire on the Galactica, Muffet is a hero.

Muffet is not the most intelligent of robots, in fact it is quite daft. But it is one of the most lovable. It is also quite furry.
