I'd need more pixles to be able to judge that

Honestly theres a bunch of dog owners that shouldn't be, I don't mind them having robot dogs as their needs will be lesser.

Where have you been, we've been trying to make robot dogs work since the late 90s. Boston Dynamics is gettin' pretty close now.

I remember having one of those as a kid. For a few days, it was the best thing ever, till I got bored with it and never played with it again.

Exactly like a real dog.

Just because your dogs brain was transferred into a robot body that doesn't need exercise doesn't mean that the dog doesn't still want to go for a walk!

This is reminiscent of Black Mirror - White Christmas.

The house in the middle walks like a crab from one climate disaster zone to the next

Robot dog still needs to be kept on a leash for some reason, you can activate Full Self-Walking mode but you're required to be on the alert at all times in case it malfunctions

Because if you go off-leash and the dog's instinct/original Boston Dynamics firmware happens to kick in, it'll be a bloodbath.

Dude just stop complaining and flash LibreDog on it. It's not that hard.

Maybe the human should be a robot too
