Watchdog

Watchdog: One who oversees; dog for scaring off the unwelcome. Congressional committee.

A watchdog is a dog that fits on your wrist or in your watchpocket. It is powered by a spring or a battery. The spring must be wound up daily; the battery must be replaced once in awhile. The most reliable watchdogs are regulated by a quartz crystal. Straps and fobs vary according to taste. Once a year a best-in-show meet is held to determine which watchdog has the most erect tail. The Spanish word for tail is cola. Coca-Cola is one of those terms that defies translation.
