    These guys have been doing this for years. They are the best dogs.

    It’d be so much fun to watch the seagull patrol.

      Seems like a great candidate for streaming.

        Strap a Go-Pro to the dogs for a great FPV of them at work.

    I recall hearing a similar system being used to chase geese away from airport runways. The dog has a great time and the geese don’t get sucked into jet engines. It’s win-win.

    This kind of thing is why I think robot dogs are the stupidest type of robot for humans to focus on making, dogs already exist and most work dog breeds want a role to play to feel like they contribute to their pack, they are an amazingly adapted animal capable of easily learning.
