• Massachusetts state police say a suspect shot a Boston Dynamics robot dog during a SWAT standoff.
• The company said it was the first time one of its robot dogs took a bullet.
• Police reform advocates have criticized robotic police dogs in the past for being overpriced and ineffective.

Man's best friend (in Robot form) would take a bullet for you, apparently.

State troopers used three robots developed by Boston Dynamics to flush out a suspect hiding in a residence after shooting at police in Barnstable, Massachusetts earlier this month, state police said.
