  Hi Derek.  I do have a picture before the teenagers smashed it up.  But it is a small background picture, it is hard to see the toy near me, and I do not know how to put it on the computer so you can see it,..  I wouild have to mail you a regular photo of the toy robot dog to your house. My girlfriend and I are not computer people, we are just trying to find out the name of this toy dog, so we can get one to replace the one the kids stole from our yard and trashed it. This is one of those strange stories that should be made into a movie !!  Darrin the Dog, rescued..........stolen again, ...taken away,........found..........re=born again.  Too funny !! Thanks for caring about a simple, stupid problem.   But..........we DO miss our Darrin ! Kirby and Barb

Hi Derek. I just looked at your e=mail agan. And I can take a NEW picture of what is left of the toy. That will probably be enough to let you see, and if you know toys..........then I am sure from what is left of the body of the toy, you can tell us what it was ! Thanks again, Kirby and Barbara

MrScott said: Based on the location of the pic linked into this thread, www.otherlandtoys.co.uk/megabytepic.jpg Which can lead you to this page. http://www.otherlandtoys.co.uk/megabyte.htm I did a search on "megabyte dog toy", and found this article about robotic toy dogs. http://www.techtree.com/techtree/jsp/article.jsp?print=1&article_id=46808... It included this picture of Mega Byte Cyber Watch Dog .  Searching on the toy name also led me to a YouTube video of it.

 Hi Scott ! thanks for writing. You have been a great help in helping us find the name of that toy dog. The picture you sent is definitely the toy. But the one we had the tail was not thin and straight llike youur picture. And the green and red eyes were larger. But it is the same type, no doubt. Same color, same little tread on the feet , same head and zig-zag mouth.  I don;t know how long they made this toy, but they must have made some small changes to it. But you have definitely come up with the name ! That was the hardest thing for us to find so far ! Please keep in touch , and if you know anyone who has a broken Meg-Bt-Cy-Wch dog for sale or ADOPTION , please let us know!

  Thanks so much for your care and concern in helping us get another " Darrin "  Kirby and Barbara

altwolf said: wow, Megabyte kinda reminds me of Wrex. I wonder if he was the inspiration. It's nice to see some I-cybie getting some love. He's close to being my favorite toy Bot that I own.

 Hey, this was the greatest story. We found this toy dog a few years ago, and rescued him from the trash, we fixed him up, painted him, put him in the front yard and it was great. We moved him around the house, and all of the neighbors loved him. One day some little kid asked me the name of the dog. "Name?" I said, and stuttered........Name?.....uh.............Darrin! I blurted out! His name is Darrin. Darrin the Dog !!  So that is how "Darrin " got his name. we even put a tag and collar on him, it was great , and we started dressing him up for all of the holidays. It is just sad what mean teenagers can do to wreck and destroy your property, but it always could have been worse. We are smart enough to realize that. Thanks again for writing, if you find the older model, give us a holler. Thanks !  Kirby and Barbara !
