What dog?? The "Spot" that I've seen recently (on ST:TNG) is a
CAT!!

That would be Datas pet cat, yes. Even artificial lifeforms
see the value of a cat.


I saw a discussion about where did Data's Spot (episode Data's
Day) come from; where did he get her?

Since it is not recorded in the canons, here's the Soong-source
speculation I liked best:

"Data's Day happens shortly after Data meets Dr. Soong, and it is
clear after he returns to the enterprise that he has brought back
some of Soong's belongings. My theory is that Spot actually
belonged to his father and so he inherited her."

ot How did Data get Spot? (also Spot-Data pic)

That sounds feasable. Inherited or not, it's Data's cat now. Which,
in a very weak way, supports what I wrote initially. -- really trying.
