Two Huskies Encounter Robot Dog and React Exactly as You'd Predict
The Pet Zealot ^ | November 09, 2023 | James Alain L.

Posted on 11/09/2023 3:07:48 PM PST by allen592

A hilarious video, recently shared on Reddit, captures the priceless reactions of two huskies when they come face-to-face with the Unitree Go2 Robodog. This remarkable canine creation, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the famous Boston Dynamics dog (just saying), had the pleasure of meeting a few of its living counterparts, and let's just say, some of them were less than thrilled.

Those are the quietest huskies I’ve seen. Usually that breed is talking up a storm.

Not exactly the story of the day. Light hearted, fluff, I get it. It’s ok. That said, the text is all but gibberish in light of the actual content of the video. The robot assumes classically aggressive postures, with the crouching and advancing on the one dog. The dogs see and are reacting to those cues, but it doesn’t look or smell
Like a dog, and no tail cues to read, so they’re confused. That’s pretty
much the long and short of it

How loyal would a dog be to a robot if it fed the dog every day?

One husky went into the “Let’s Play” mode several times (paws and head down and tail up) and couldn’t figure out why the robot dog didn’t “get it”.

The other husky seemed to think the “let’s play” was directed at them.

But then this single-issue, single-blog poster wouldn’t get hits.

I would think the designers would give robo-pooch a better semblance of a head.

You want to magically watch something without actually going to the link. Think much?

Let a couple of Cane Corso’s meet that robot and see what happens.

A lot of times sites link to YouTube videos

Dunno if that’s the case here

But you oftentimes hit a site only just to click to YouTube

The video can be embedded of course

Dad's last extremely large GS, was the ultimate Alpha male, (circa 1976). Zarek wasn't a butt sniffer, he was a nose to nose confrontationalist ready to fight every male he came in contact with.

During his brief life with us, there were several issues that caused dad some grief but for the most part, Zarek was always controlled.

I was tasked with taking Zarek to the vet on his final day with us and have never been able to get it out of my mind.......one of the worst days of my life.
