Just take all the recent technological breakthroughs coming out of Silicon Valley, for instance. Just 10 years ago, AI, self-driving cars, and robots were considered fodder for science fiction. But now, they are mainstays of the San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At times, it seems that this Mecca of modern technological marvels is set to rewrite everything we know about daily life, even dog walking. No, we are not reporting on some new AI dog walker or other innovation that changes the way we take our beloved canine companions out for a stroll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rather, we are talking about an entirely new dog breed: the robot dog. Yes, you read that right, San Francisco now has robot dogs roaming the streets. But that\u2019s not the strangest part of this report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a bizarre twist, one robot dog that was recently spotted in the city by the bay had the head of none other than Elon Musk. And when this Elon Musk-robot dog encountered some actual dogs, two very bewildered Goldendoodles, their encounter surpassed even the strangest science fiction in just how purely bizarre it was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/abc7newsbayarea\/reel\/DW78Xv4kpSu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Click here to watch;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Click here to watch&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Click here to watch<\/a> this bizarre video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Those Goldendoodles had absolutely no idea what they were looking at. Were they seeing a friend, or was it a foe? And why did it have the face of a hooman? They wagged their tails with trepidation and barked at this thing that could not communicate with them, although it did try raising a mechanical leg in their direction. Was it trying to give these dogs its \u201cpaw\u201d (if we can even call it that)?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Goldendoodle\u2019s Odd Way of Welcoming Guests Earns Her a Timeout on the Stairs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Making things even stranger was that there was another robot dog on the street. But instead of having the head of the richest man in the world, this one had a face that looked like a small video game controller with a screen in the middle. Either way, this was a very bizarre sighting that these Goldendoodles didn\u2019t know how to make heads or tails of.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Social Media Was Not a Fan of These Robot Dogs<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"A close-up of an unimpressed-looking Goldendoodle.Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;caseyjadew\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/2ea15pjjtXXrkmmjQWNG2A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/pethelpful_915\/89b572fa907da7d4b487f120d71dfa7a\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>A close-up of an unimpressed-looking Goldendoodle.Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;caseyjadew<\/p>\n<p><span>(Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;caseyjadew)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Viewers on social media had a lot to say about this one.
