In a bizarre encounter, a robot dog recently met real-life puppies, leaving social media users in shock. The video, which has gone viral, shows the interaction between the technological canine and the playful puppies.
The clip has ignited mixed reactions online. While some expressed discomfort, others saw the interaction as fascinating. One user commented, “Very pro-science and engineering, but these are the kind of things that shouldn't exist." Another noted, "Dogs can quickly sense that it has no soul."
The video, captioned “Dogs react to a robot dog,” shows a mechanical canine standing at the edge of a park, observing a group of puppies just a few metres away. As the robot dog moves closer, the real dogs quickly scatter and watch it cautiously from a distance.
Others, however, viewed the video more positively. "It's amazing to watch dogs interact with robots!" one user remarked. "Their curiosity and instincts are on display, as they engage with the robot, trying to figure out if it's a friend or just a strange object."
