I can't wait until Amazon launches genetically modified pets that try to sell you things.

Dog opens it's mouth and speaks pre-programmed phrase. "Show how much you love your pet and buy Amazon premium++ dog food, now half price!"

=> one that requires you to buy it dog food, and can auto-order more when it notices the bag getting low

and when he's been a good boy, it auto orders fancier treats

See Ellison's A Boy and His Dog. Vic's dog Blood expects lots more than "premium++ dog food".
