This is pure win
It's nice to know that James Cameron was right . . . Dogs DO hate robots, and thus will be useful in detecting Terminators in the future.
I, for one, welcome our new puppy overloards
Dammit, I wanted to see that thing completely destroy that dog.
I wanted to see the dog completely ignore all the sound affects and lights and continue humping its leg.
Indeed, it is a bucket of win.
Props for the mario effects and the score.
I laughed for around 5 minutes after watching this.
I want to see Pleo against a dog! :D
This is absolutely amazing. Loved every moment. I'd love to see that dog go in to bite that roboquads head off. Imagine an attack dog in training going after one of these things...

The Rematch --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2vh1zKc1Q&feature=related
The robot is a chew toy in the rematch vid!
That video just made me drunk...
(bad filmed and not funny)
The second puppy is nasty, but the first puppy was adorable.
I want to go out and buy a puppy, it is 8 years since my dog was a puppy, and I miss it.
It's been eight years since my dog was a puppy, too. It's been 7 and a half years since she destroyed our carpet, and about 7 years since she...well, my husband still gets upset when he thinks about his golf clubs. We have wood floors now and new golf clubs. But puppy still has her Red Hour moments, and she'd be like Dick Cheney raining paws of death upon poor hapless Roboquad. BWAHAHAHAAAAA!!
Puppy versus Sony Aibo would have been ever better... :-)
Pfft. Two robots would simply stop fighting and chit-chat with each other.
Quad: "You know, this idiot human wants us to fight."
Aibo: "Yeah. Let's piss 'im off!"
Maybe not happen in our lifetime, but that dog WILL eventually be replaced by a robot.
Yeah, it was a fluke that the Jetsons even had Astro as a pet. Robotic dogs are the way to go.
Finish him... Finish HIM!
How is this MAN vs. machine?
Man's best friend is currently subbing.
And fighting bravely for us too! Deserves a medal.
Next Episode:
Dog vs. Mike vick.
That dogs in over his head!
You already know that a Puppy is not a MAN, right?
Next fight: Cat vs. Roboquad!!!!
That would be really interesting. XD
*cat raises head to glare at robot*
*cat puts head back down*
*cat goes back to sleep*
Exploiting animals? PETA will not be amused. They're gonna send a tree hugger bot at the guy/gal who made this video.
I am quite surprise that the puppy didn't bite the robot....
LMAO poor dog!
what kinda dog is that?
Looks like a German Shepard/mix?
that dog was hella cute
Dammit! Lost 5 bucks on that fight!
awww.that was the feelgood video of the day.
hail satan!
anyone know what kinda dog that was??
Uh oh, bad newz... a certain lil robot I know is gonna hafta get hung and/or electrocuted now
Now that's a badass puppy!
I have not LOLed that hard in some time.
That video is made of WIN and AWESOME.
If I saw any creature that resembles to a large spider of my size...I would've done the same.
poor puppy...he must've been really freaked out with the alienlike Roboquad..
But I was really hoping the puppy would go after Roboquad's neck and snap it...bummer...
You know what this means? Humans won't be the first to die when the Robot Revolution comes....dogs will! We bought some time!
That video was overflowing with pure win. This MAY be the next target of my videogame fund.
Guess I'm the only one wanting his 2 minutes back.
Yeah I want my 2min back too
Poor puppy, that thing would freak the shit out of my dog too.
Poor Puppy? that is an awsome play toy! My dog begs for me to chase him around with my RC Cars and Helicopters. Did go godzilla on my mini-heli once though. :)
Guess what's not cool to say anymore: things being "fail" or "win." Yep, it's now stupid and lame. Time to find something original!
you fail.
the video win.
DG - Fail
WINdsor - Win!!!
You win the prize!!
LMAO at the Puppy Super attack!!
Awesome=D
Who cares about the writer's strike, with this around?
LOLZERS, PWN3D.
Gentlemen!! BEHAVE YOURSELVES!!!!
I actually did something similar with a kitten, it is used for keeping the
kitten away from scratching, crying in front of the door at 5am, the whole
experience can be found in my blog here :)

*note to self* Must get puppy for impending robot apocalypse...
lol, that's a much better reaction than my cat gives to roboquad. she just sorta sits there like "wtf are you doing?" then she walks away.
