Robot dogs are a plot element in Fahrenheit 451. I guess our corporate overlords read that book and thought that sounded like a great idea. It’s only a dystopia if you’re not running it, after all.

They are coming, I can feel it. There are plenty of assholes that will buy them as soon as they hit the right price in the market. They'll have lethal accessories they can buy too to customize them. Wait and see.

On the bright side, watching homeless people kick over those stupid food delivery robots is hilarious. Off they go with the pizzas as the robot blinks it’s ridiculous fake eyes, it’s little alarm bleeting away. Ha ha

So the homeless are robbing the robots? Ha! Good for them! Maybe it will teach whoever is sending them to cut the crap.

If some idiot sics his Astro on you, then you'll need to use an EMP grenade or carry around an off switch. This won't end well unless you can train the robodog to fight the Terminator.

You know they will be the ultimate combination of drone and robot, able to fly around but also to kick ass when needed. I'm thinking Smaug from The Hobbit would work well as a model for them.

Smaug would be great. Have you ever noticed the assholes that say “my dog doesn’t bite” really mean my dog won’t bite me but he will nail you.

You can NOT trust them. I ask them to put the dog in the house if it's not on a leash or they do not have a secure grip on it. You cannot believe them.

Damn, nasty thing!!! It looked like it shot him, so at least it didn't bite. Didn't seem to have teeth. He didn't suffer when his head exploded. 😂
