Boston Dynamics robot dog vs. a real dog: who is the goodest boy?

Robot dogs you get for the sillies and it’s cool, like an adult’s kids toy. Organic dogs are friends and are family

I love my real dogs. All day. Every day

You could pay 4-5 public school teachers what that cop dog costs. We need fewer cops, not more. And we def don't need any robot dogs. Please stop humanizing the militarization of police.
