Guardian-class Droid
this canine-statured droid was developed by Cybot Galactica under the designation GV/3, and was designed to serve as a protector and companion for families with young children. The Guardian was equipped with a variety of communication methods, including a sophisticated range of emotional responses. Despite its home-based programming, the Guardian-class droid was equipped with a retractable blaster and retractable, blade-like teeth. These droids were fairly inexpensive, which attributed to the Guardian's popularity.
