The future is now. You can now own one of those creepy marching robot-dogs you've seen on the news that Boston Dynamics has been developing. They can do all sorts of things like walk, climb stairs and open doors. Plus they're non-allergenic and don't need to go out to use the facilities at 3 in the morning and if you're going on a trip just power them down and leave them home.
