Tyndall Air Force Base will be the first place in the entire country to deploy robo-dogs to patrol their perimeter. Are we ready for this?

No, I haven't gotten into that series. Is it going to scare me?

FYI: I believe you can now purchase your own robo-dog on the open market. Use them to chase beach intruders away? Who knows?

OH yeah it's brutal. The corporation that employed them is long gone but the dogs are still hunting. And they are relentless and deadly.

It’s a good series. The politician and the pig was interesting.

My point was, this isn't science fiction. It is here, right now, one county away. I saw it on channel 13.

Did they say who the supplier is?
Any thoughts on what to offer a robo-dog as a distraction?

I would suggest colorful memes for distraction. The channel 13 clip did say the supplier, but it was not Boston Dynamics, who really invented this stuff. I am not making this up, but I saw an article that had a photo of a field of maybe a hundred of these "dogs" and said you could purchase one for $100,000. (I may be totally wrong about the price- google it.)
