I cant even think how to look for it on google, so i figure i'll try my luck here first.

Its this very old screensaver, back when the flying toasters were around. Its this dog that would appear on your desktop. He'd walk around, dig holes, pee on your wallpaper, rip a hole into the wallpaper and pull out cables, jump in the holes in the wallpaper and pop out of other areas, etc.

Anyone have the slightest clue what i am talking about and possibly anyone have it or know where to get it? i miss my doggy!

No clue. And I'm not going to any lengths to find it on google.

But if it will make you feel any better. I can suit up and wear a doggy suit and pee on your monitor and rip out your cables. :shock:

I just to have a cat and it would walk around and do random things when you clicked it and dragged your mouse you'd lift it and you could just throw it around your desktop.

i think it was called "BAD DOG" because that's what the guy
would say when the dog was eating your pc

edit: makers of the screensaver (and they made the flying toasters
as well) is called After Dark. idk if they still really exist, and
i cant look up much here since i'm still at work. but After Dark is
the name of the company, and Bad Dog the name of the screensaver.

I think he was called "Bad Dog" and would suggest searching for Retro Screensavers.
It was made by AfterDark, if memory serves.

LOL - you guys are quick! (cin and BloodyBlade)

Hmm, I haven't searched for any other links, didn't see it had adware and stuff.
But you know what it's named now, good luck!
EDIT: I think this one is safe and it works well, too bad it's only for registered users..

Fly -ing out of the sun
The smell of toast is in the air.
When there's a job to be done
The Fly -ing Toast -ers will be there.

And it's flap! Flap! Flap!
Now help is on the way.
This vict -'ry song they sing:
We pop up to save the day
On Might -ty Toast -er Wings!

In bright -est day or Af -ter Dark
When times of trou -ble are at hand,
The Fly -ing Toast -ers set a spark
And hope is blaz -ing 'cross the land!

And it's flap! Flap! Flap!
Sal -va -tion from a -bove
A pre -cious gift they bring:
Gleam -ing An -gels of Love
On Might -ty Toast -er Wings!

im the proud owner of afterdark deluxe screensavers :O whooosha :P 2 virus scans told me it was clean xD

guide:

only works for XP (or older i guess)

1)download torrent at:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/746016

2)change file setup.inf
(dont scroll down the whole file,, its near the top xD)
FileCount=8 change 8 to 6 or 7, 6 worked for me)
File1=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,12592,4.0.0.0,5,folder.afi,1,3,AD2.afi,,
File2=Win,N,Y,N,Y,N,L:Install,13536,4.0.0.0,6,folder.afi,1,3,Disney.afi,,

File8=Win,N,N,N,N,N,L:Install,6588000,-1,1,file.nul,1,3,file.nul,,
;;ATTENTION EDITOR OF SETUP.INF: FILE.NUL IS ONLY NECESSARY IF YOU ARE INSTALLING AFTER DARK ONLINE. IT ACCOUNTS FOR THE HD SIZE OF ADONLINE

3)after that you can run the setup,, i will say there is space left on the disk and if you want to try again (u only get 1 screensaver if you say no,, so try again xd)

4)go through the setup (guess everyone installed something before,, no need to explain)

5)reboot your pc,,

6) right click on you desktop,, (translate this from dutch so dunno if it is the correct word :o) properties,

7) go to institutions (thats incorrect but dunno how to call it :()) last option bar to the right,,

8) click advanced (lower right corner)

9) there should be an after dark bar on top of the screen where ur going xd it explains itself
