Rover

That white oversized beach-balloon thing off of the cult 1960s psychological British spy TV-show "The Prisoner" (the one with Patrick McGoohan). Rover acts as the disciplinary force in a disguised detention centre for spies ("the village"). Upon finding an escapee, rover pounces on them and knocks them out, then carries/drags them back.

Patrick McGoohan almost escaped in the first episode of "The Prisoner", but then Rover caught him and foiled his escape :/
