Well, Hitler was a dog person. Loved his Alsatian, Blondi.
The question on my mind is whether the intelligent German dogs could stand up to the cyborg Collie the Russians were working on. :bouncegiggle:

It's a good thing they weren't allies, because then that would open the door to educated dogs that could read, write, and talk, AND the added thread of cyborg strength.

now that's just barking up the wrong tree, mate.
Sounds like the scientists were just chasing cars with this one.
(I can't be the only person on badmovies.org of all places that thinks this would make a awesome movie)
I think Rev was just throwing you guys a bone on this one.

This thread's goin' to the dogs. :lookingup:
You guys are being a little ruff, don't you think?
P.S. Criswell, I agree that the idea of talking Nazi dogs could be adapted into a decent b-movie.

Strangely enough, creating a race of talking dogs also involves building a gigantic raping machine. It's his solution to everything.

What I find most interesting about that is that somebody (even hypothetically) thought it would be a good idea to give that body to a creature known for chasing cars, chewing on important items, stealing food, making messes, jumping on people and taking an aggressive interest in your crotch.
Unless the idea is to enable Lassie to get Timmy out of virtually any trouble all by herself. Then it kind of makes sense.
