Curiosity killed the cat. What killed the dog?

You know the saying "Curiosity killed the cat". Now I wonder (out of curiosity...) what killed the dog?

So far I have found two answers:

Both of these indicates that curiosity got the dog as well. I do not really believe this, as cats and dogs are usually positioned to have different personalities.

Do you have an answer?

PS. Incidently the Swedish word dog means killed. At least almost

PPS. Was it the killer app. or the killer attitude? Or lack of any of these?

PPPS. It might be a matter of "killer attitude vs. kill the attitude"..?

MMS Traffic Growth article

Here's a link to an article featuring me... http://www.ericsson.com/mobilityworld/sub/articles/other_articles/06jun15

Traffic Growth is a very interesting topic, at least if you ask me.

However - "There's no killer app. - only a killer attitude", and this is true in a Traffic Growth context as well. It doesn't matter how good (and potential "killer") an application is, if it isn't handled with the killer attitude. This goes both for how the application is brought to the market/users (in this context by the operator or the service provider), as well as how the application is treated internally in eg. the product management and sales/marketing diciplines (when a supplier of the application brings it to operators/service providers).

This makes the overall success of any Traffic Growth initiative a Human Resource activity, at least partly - when did you last see an HR representative in a Traffic Growth activity?
