In the 21st century, Omniverse-travelling actor Tom Baker entrusted his "robot dog" to the housekeeper of Baker's End, Fenella Frimbly. She was originally hesitant of the robot dog's arrival, as she was prepared to hit it with her cricket bat which she reserved for unwanted visitors, but she begrudgingly let the robot dog stay in Baker's End when it told her that it meant no harm. That night, the robot dog somehow made Fenella recall some painful memories before she met Baker, and she sent the dog out of the her bedroom, calling it a "hound from hell". The next morning, which was Christmas Day, the robot dog made it up to her by telling Fenella stories of his and his Master's travels, some of which Fenella thought she might've been present for. Soon, the dog raced out of the home, exclaiming that his Master had returned, and Fenella ran with youthful vigor along side the dog. (PROSE: Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary)

Fate
Sometime in the mid 1980s, the robot dog ended up being broken down into scrap at a market stall. It had been sixteen years since the dog last spoke to anybody. Jack, who went to the market regularly to collect volumes of the Books of Mayhem, found the robot dog in a sorry state in the summertime, when he was thirteen. Over the next few weeks, Jack and the dog became friends, but every time Jack visited the dog, he was losing more and more parts, until one day, Jack was horrified to discover that the robot dog had been dismantled so much, only his brain remained. Jack took the brain, and upon the dog's instruction, downloaded the robot dog's memory onto CDs before the brain deteriorated. (PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound)
