The dogs, which are prototypes for a new breed of robotic pets that have been under development by Toshiba for over 10 years, and which are expected to be available on the market in 2020, have been described as "almost sentient". Equipped with proximity sensors, impressive artificial intelligence and even a voicebox, the robots are designed to behave as closely as possible to how a real dog would behave in any situation.
Somehow the dogs, which were being transported in the truck from the factory to the Toshiba headquarters, were activated and were able to escape through the back of the truck in the aftermath of a crash into a telephone pole. The 27 dogs, acting very much like real dogs, began running in different directions and are now all over central Tokyo. The dogs are reportedly running at a speed of about 10 mph but have not yet collided with any people thanks to their anti-bump sensors.

I'm pretty sure this is a joke site, I just wanted to make a robocop joke but no one is mentioning it.

Yeah, not real, but I was thinking this would be a great publicity stunt to "field test" the dogs by deploying them as strays.

the fact that this supposedly happened in Tokyo makes it totally believable though

Yeah, they seem to be obsessed with the Zim Zam.

If they have any holes in them, they'll be snatched up by Japanese men and raped. Those people will try to have sex with just about anything that isn't a woman

Wouldn't a real dog be cheaper?
