K9 (A Rose by Any Other Name)

A model of K9 lived with the Tenth Doctor in the TARDIS. K9 joined the TARDIS team while Rose Tyler was still on-board, but the robot would initially spend most of his time within the TARDIS, rarely mentioned or seen. K9 only began to actively join adventures after the Doctor adopted a cat, whom he named after Rose. The two did not get along.
