    Dogs are already incredibly capable, extremely motivated and extraordinarily trainable and adaptable, the idea of designing robots to replace them to me is absurd.

            Dogs take some time to train and then repay that investment with their intuition and motivation to learn and interact, robots work as soon as you get them but they don’t give any of this boost at all. Robots don’t care either way about anything where on the other hand happy dogs usually actively want to make you happy and be good at doing a job that means something to “the pack” (which dogs understand through being praised and rewarded by the pack).
