Robodogs are becoming a common sight in China and are now expected to be a common sight on the battlefield as Chinese forces have been using armed versions to train Cambodian forces.

Just think, it won't be long before mass shootings at schools and public events will be perpretrated by robodogs controlled by their owners from a laptop in their bedroom!

Isn't technology great?

Robodog manufacturers are looking at various new enhancements to make the robodogs more like real-world doggies:

• robodogs that poo easy to cleanup dry pellets
• robodogs that slobber hygienic green slime while watching you eat
• robodogs able to lick their own balls
• robodogs that are AI trained to hump your leg

These enhancements will come at extra cost but are expected to be popular as many owners opt for fake dogs that can be controlled and communicated with from a smartphone.

Manufacturers will not be training their tech to fetch newspapers as no-one reads newspapers anymore, although they are useful to line a litter tray.
