It may feel like a perverse vision of the future, but it's not real.
Have you seen that photo of a dog attempting to make sweet and passionate love to a robot dog? It’s gone viral on sites like Reddit, Instagram , and X. But it’s fake. Hopelessly, tragically fake. The original photo was first shared by the New York Fire Department on Facebook way back on April 18, 2023. And, as you can see from the side-by-side we’ve created below, there’s no white dog going to town on the fire department’s robotic canine.
“The robot dog or the drones, they’re able to stream the video directly to our phones, directly to our command center,” New York’s chief of fire operations John Esposito told reporters shortly after it happened last year in a video aired by CBS New York. “This is the first time that we’ve been able to fly inside in a collapse to do this and try to get us some information, again, without risking the lives of our firefighters,” Esposito continued.
