Sorry if this was already answered. I believe that the
quote was from "Gorilla my Dreams", a short and very pun-filled
satire of the uplift novels which David Brin used to have on his
website. It does not seem to be there any more, though.
As I recall, the neodogs were suffering from some sort
of acute depression. They had finally mastered door knobs, only
to have them rendered obsolete by psionic locks.
