DOGO programming language

DOGO is a fictional programming language invented as a joke by John Unger Zussman. It appears in a humorous list of "lesser known languages", published in InfoWorld in 1982 and later posted to Usenet. This is the original text pertaining to DOGO:

    DOGO ... Developed at the Massachussettes Institute of Obedi-
ence Training.  DOGO heralds a new era of computer-literate pets.
DOGO commands include SIT, STAY, HEEL and ROLL OVER.  An  innova-
tive feature of DOGO is "PUPPY GRAPHICS", in which a small cocker
spaniel occasionally leaves a deposit as he  travels  across  the
screen.

Its name and the description of "PUPPY GRAPHICS" are a spoof on Logo.

The other languages in the list are SIMPLE, SLOBOL, VALGOL, LAIDBACK, SARTRE, FIFTH, C- and LITHP.
