The website Miliary.com reports several of these robot dogs are now in place at Tyndall AFB...

"The robot dogs, which are not meant to replace real, military working dogs in any way, will be programmed with a patrol route and monitored by a Security Forces electronic security sensor system noncommissioned officer, the base said previously."

In case you missed it, 60 Minutes aired a segment on similar robots, "dogs" included, Sunday night.

Arf!
