The future is stoopid.

Pet Robot Dogs Replace Real Thing

What an azzhole idea.

This is what 5.56 green tip was made for, just saying.

Agreed, you can't replace a dog with a robot. They should be focused on more practical ideas like a robotic house cleaner/concubine.

Idunno, I've always dreamed of having a dog that didn't s_hit or shed.

Well, they have some that don't shed

And you've got neighbors with yards right?

Yes I do, and my dog and his pals that hang out exclusively defecate there, the neighbors cool with it, he's dog friendly, washes all the piles out with his garden hose, claims it to be the greenest part of his lawn.

I'd like to see that robot-dog running a rabbit in a briar thicket.

Can it swim and retrieve without short circuiting?

And not retrieve the decoys.

Probably just the ticket for city folks.
