So You Want to Buy a Robot Dog? A Totally Serious Guide (with Tongue Firmly in Cheek)
Let's face it, who wouldn't want a robotic companion that can navigate treacherous terrain, carry your groceries (or, more realistically, your phone charger you always seem to misplace), and maybe even fetch your slippers? Boston Dynamics' Spot might just be the answer to your prayers (or, at least, your yearning for a pet that doesn't shed or judge your questionable fashion choices). But before you dive headfirst into the world of robot dog ownership, there are a few things to consider.

First Things First: Are You Prepared for the Responsibility (and the Giggles)?
Owning a Spot isn't quite like having a goldfish. This isn't a Tamagotchi you can neglect for a week and expect it to still be operational (though, with its impressive balance, it might just be able to right itself after a dramatic flop). Spot requires training and care, just like any furry (or, in this case, metallic) friend. But hey, on the plus side, you'll be the coolest person on the block (or at least until your neighbor unveils their robot unicorn).
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Just imagine the possibilities:
Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
- Evening walks will never be the same (prepare to be the center of attention...and maybe some nervous laughter).
- Dinner parties will take on a whole new level of sophistication (just don't let Spot near the hors d'oeuvres).
- Mowing the lawn? Nah, Spot's got this (although robot dog ballet might be more entertaining).
How to Actually Acquire Your Own Robotic Shadow
Alright, alright, so you're convinced. You need a Spot in your life. But how exactly do you go about getting your paws on (or, should we say, hands on) this technological marvel? Here's a crash course:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

- Contact Boston Dynamics: Head over to their website and express your interest in Spot. Be prepared to answer some questions – they might want to make sure you're not planning on using Spot to take over the world (though, with its adorable robot charm, world domination might not be such a bad thing...).
- Get Ready to Discuss the Details: This isn't a purchase you make on a whim (like that impulse buy of a neon green juicer collecting dust in your basement). Spot is an investment, and the sales team will likely want to understand how you plan to use your robotic companion.
- Wait Patiently (or Impatiently, We Won't Judge): Spot isn't exactly a mass-produced item. Depending on your needs and their availability, there might be a wait involved. But hey, use this time to robot-proof your house! (We recommend hiding those expensive vases just in case Spot gets a little too enthusiastic during playtime).
Remember: While the price of Spot isn't publicly available, let's just say it's not exactly a budget-friendly purchase. Consider this your friendly reminder to start saving those pennies (or nickels, or whatever currency you fancy).
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
