I think your confusing Sarah with Lela. Sarah was never associated with
K-9 in the Dr. Who series. However Lela was the first companion to meet
and become very attached to the K-9 which the Dr. and Lela met in "The
Swarm" episode. The first K-9 was constructed by a Dr. Marious who was
from earth and stationed on a hospital space station. He developed his
computer/robot/technical aid "K-9" because weight restrictions prevented
him from transporting a real dog from earth to the station. The technical
nature allowed him use k-9 instead of a real dog.
