Sends a random dog picture on demand. That is the whole bot - a small dose of something harmless in a chat full of everything else. Free.
Some bots are infrastructure and some are a small kindness. This one is the second sort: ask and a dog appears. In a group chat that is worth more than it sounds - it is the thing people send when an argument has gone on too long.
There is nothing to configure, no account and no subscription. The bot is open about what it does in its own description, which in this corner of the catalogue is as much verification as a picture bot needs.

Yes, and that is where picture bots earn their keep - one command, one dog, conversation resumes.
Yes, the same idea exists for cats and for animal facts; keep whichever the chat prefers.
