Wild dogs are like "Hey! check out this piece of crap, it can't even walk"

[McSuperfly]

“The only giveaway is the camera in his eye...”

Yeeeeah okay, that’s the _only_ giveaway...

[aledmb]

he got the most amazing view of wild dogs ever seen... and we get to enjoy it for 3 seconds.

[lezzman]

1:23 The adults' body language say it all...smiling mouth, ears down and wagging tails. They are happy to have him there.

[RusticOps]

The only give away is the camera in his eye


Moves like it has arthritis

[ff_jemi]

Did anyone else believe this thing was going to get mauled and then thrown like a ragdoll?

[InghamL]

I don’t get how creatures with such sharp senses and social instincts could be fooled by something that probably smells like plastic, can barely move, and emits metallic whirs and clicks from its innards. Seems more than possible they’re not fooled but just think it’s more cute or intriguing than creepy.

“He mimics their body language to put them at ease” *moves like a broken Furby*

[pinkhairvulcanus]

The paranoid dog: “I tell you guys, the new dog is a synth. The Institute is on us."

[lancedeejay]

The mothers be like “who’s kid is this?”

[comfytimes]

Bro the fact that we’re getting to the point where robots can look and move almost completely realistically is both amazing and scary

[BMAN-ebjk]

It’s fascinating to watch them accept this pup even when it’s clear they know that something’s not quite right.

[DailyHit]

*The adults may be harder to convince*
RoboPup: *Wags Tail*
Adult Dogs: Yea he's cool

[Angiesunshine]

The babies when they grow up will be like “I had a fake sibling and now I don’t trust anyone”

[P-xqov]

The robot dog's face cracks me up every time I see it 😂

[Gianno_]

The sounds they make are so unique, so unlike domestic dogs it almost sounds like the tweeting of a bird

[McconneIIRet]

Plottwist: They know it's a robot, but they're all robots too so that's why they accepted it.

[Starbat]

"He's won them over, despite his slightly strange smell."

Yeah, and his lifeless zombie eyes and stiff movements....

[techmouse.]

Adult 1: "Hey Sara! Is this pup yours? I don't recognize it."
_camera slowly extends out from pup's eye socket_
Adult 2: "Uhhh... Yeah. I think so..."
_mechanical winding noises intensify_
Adult 2: "Yeah I think that's John. Or Jim or whatever I named him."
_pup begins smoking from the eye socket_

[kennytic_]

Oh my gosh. The strong connection of love between the ‘pup’ and its brothers was evidently seen and felt. Lemme just bawl my eyes out 🥺😭❤️
