Canine-bots[1] are enemies in Secret Agent Clank, fought in and outside the Boltaire Museum. They are small, canine robots from planet Edificus. Agent Clank fought them while attempting to infiltrate the Boltaire Museum to investigate the scene of the crime. Later, they appeared in Captain Qwark's opera, acting as butterflies, wearing wings, during "Qwarkography, Ch. 3" on Venantonio.
Canine-bots contain sensor arrays filled with GPS equipment and cameras. The CPU of a canine-bot sensor thinks only of fire hydrants and murder.[1]
Canine-bots are fought during "Escape the Ravine" and subsequent missions in the Boltaire Museum. Canine-bots appear on patrol in some places, while in others, they are released after Clank triggers the alarm. Canine-bots attack only by biting, which they do after lunging forward. They are very weak, and simple melee attacks can defeat them before they harm Clank, although they can spawn in such numbers that they will overwhelm Clank. In such cases, the Tie-A-Rang can be used to effortlessly dispatch them before they even approach.
When appearing in Qwark's opera, the canine-bots do not attack and can only be destroyed by jumping on them.

A canine-bot also appears in the High Impact Games Treehouse. Here, it is entirely harmless and fires bees out of its mouth.
