Would I be kidding about such a thing?

Description: Enhanced replacement for cat
 dog writes the contents of each given file, URL or standard
 input to standard output. It currently supports file, http
 and raw URLs. It is designed as a compatible, but enhanced
 replacement for cat.

Sound useful?

Of course sometimes lynx -dump is handy for eliminating the html.  I
suppose wget might even have an option for dumping files to stdout, but
dog is much smaller it seems.  curl isn't bad either.
