    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?

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

      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.
