      The Six Million Dollar Man first aired in March, 1973.

      The online inflation calculator says that’s equivalent to $43,732,794.46 in December, 2024 dollars.

      Now the question becomes does $1 human = $7 dog, or is it $1 dog = $7 human?

        I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it’d work out to be about the same.

        Don’t feel bad. It’s hard. Trying to figure out those mathematical translations is sure to give you a RUFF time.
