Fans of Black Mirror: Metalhead may think that the DroneDog ground security robot dogs are uncomfortably close to this little guy:
Fans of Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel Snow Crash may recall the Rat Thing:
The body is Rottweiler-sized, segmented into overlapping hard plates like those of a rhinoceros. The legs are long, curled way up to deliver power, like a cheetah's.The body converges to a sharp nose. In the front it bends down sharply, and there is a black canopy, raked sharply like the windshield of a fighter plane. If the Rat Thing has eyes, this is where it looks out.

William Gibson fans will think me remiss if I forget the slam hound from Count Zero (1986).
As far as I know, the first reference to a "robot dog" is in The Iron World (1939) by Otis Adelbert Kline:
“Suppose you leave that to me. I have demonstrated it to my own satisfaction. I have transferred the ego of a dog to a synthetic dog brain in the skull case of a robot dog. Behold.”He snapped his fingers, and a lean, rangy hound rose from the corner in which it had been lying, stretched, yawned, and came trotting toward him.
“A robot dog!”
