Here we see the first instance of a robot William Tell and his faithful dog and rabbit moments before the tragic "apple" incident.

Actually, Aesop is one of the short stories that make up Clifford D. Simak's 1952 novel City, wherein the human race decides that Jupiter would be a jolly good place to live and leave the Earth to Jenkins the robot and a race of genetically engineered talking canines who build a society so gaggingly sentimental that I was rooting for the intelligent ants when they overran the planet.

I refuse to stoop to making any jokes about the Earth literally going to the dogs.
