I predict in 20 years, robodogs will be hunting down and eating pickpockets in the streets.

I vaguely remember a book with a rocketpropulsion cyborg guard dog in some cyberpunk setting, I just can't remember the book it was in. The concept terrifies me.

Snow Crash is a book by Neal Stephenson that has some nuclear-powered cyborg dogs in it.

Yeah, Snow Crash and also Gibson's book Neuromancer has cyborg dogs and Count Zero had a robotic assassin dog which had nearly killed the character Turner.

Yep that too, though I don't usually think of it as cyberpunk, I should probably reconsider that classification.
