The New York Police Department is welcoming a new “canine” to its team, a robot dog.
“Digidog is out of the pound,” said Mayor Eric Adams at a Tuesday, April 11 press conference in Times Square. “Digidog is now part of the tool kit that we are using. And trust me when I tell you this, if a person has a loved one that is in a hostage situation, they want a Digidog, a real dog and anything else they can get, to keep their family members safe.”
