Pleo the robot dinosaur showed up on my doorstep Friday afternoon, and I figured it would be nice to take it in and introduce it to my dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs gave Pleo the cold shoulder, and that really pissed Pleo off, sending it into an anger-filled rampage against one of the dogs. Let's just say Pleo claimed its spot as the new pet of the house. Poor doggie. [Pleo]

I kind of hope your dog chews up Pleo, or bites you. Poor guy, getting chased around like that.
Hahahaha, great video. Nice sound FX editing too :P
@bdesign: he was having a grand ole time!
That's prettbnoxious... You dog, who sees you as "the wise alpha", undersands that you apprve of this silly thing.... Basically that you want him to "recognize him as higher in the og pack"... Your dog wants to hidefor cover... A dg is real eing, not an Aibo... Go for a walk with your dogs and make up with them. Apologize and throw that stupid thing in thtash. If you were a giant Alien's pet,how wold you feel if your trusted owner force you into such circumstances?
I'm pretty sure my dogs would have destroyed that in about 2 minutes.
Kind of a dick move.
@Keebler: Those aren't sound effects. The song is Genesis by Justice. Pretty sweet band if you're into techno rock stuff.
@altus:
Was that a joke written on a sticky keyboard or are you just "special"?
@Reverov:
Yeah, I'm quite famliar with them... I DJ it all the time. But are those barking sound fx really part of the song?
I love labs.
@altus: Your dog psychology advice is exactly as good as your spelling.
@Reverov:
Just found it on HypeM.... those barking Pleo sounds weren't part of the original. I sure didn't think I would've forgotten that! Haha.
@Kaiser-Machead: Seconded. Although I like the black labs. Though I saw a golden lab/collie mix once. CUTE.
LMAO
I agree with BloggyMcBlogBlog. Cottony turds for a few days would have been the only evidence that Pleo ever existed
What a great video.
@altus: Wow. I don't even fail that hard on my drunkest Internet ramblings. Good job! Way to FAIL like a pro!
dude I could not stop laughing that was hilarious totally something I would do with my dogs and the music hahaha if only I could add rep I would.
Is Pleo taking a dump on the stairs in the end? Maybe marking its territory
Pshhaw...
Big deal. I can do the same thing with my cat.
Poor puppy! While I would never deny that I tease my dog like there's no tomorrow, that's simply mean.
Great video. Justice sure was the right decision.
YELLOW LABS FTW.
@altus: the tail says the dog knew it was playing (see the upwards point while wagging) likely because it's master/best friend was playing with it.
the geneva convention's real failure?
poor catering.
and no provisions for mammals threatened by pleo. at least throw us a bone by including a clause for annoying sound effects, you snobbish swiss!
@altus
Dogs pretty much know that your gonna mess with them.. its part of their genetic code.. Thats why they are called "dogs" It would be different if Pleo shot a flaming ball of fire at the lab and it started yelping in horror, and while it yelped, Pleo lifted a leg and urinated in its face.
@Lloyd: My cat and I chase each other all the time and often much faster than Adrian's dog pursuit with a Pleo. Pouncing is often involved. Contrary to what some people seem to think, pursuit and mild pestering both seem to be favorite games of many dogs and cats, especially when they are young.
lmao nice one - very "youtube" but funny!
I almost spit out my lunch! I think that our dogs would have the same reaction.
I like how at 00:26 remaining, while Adrian and Pleo are in full pursuit of one dog, another one can be seen just laying there looking completely unconcerned about the whole thing. Anybody who has spent much time around dogs can tell you that if even one of them is truly upset, all of them are likely to respond.
@SeattleTed:
Wrong. Dogs wag their tales when they are anxious, not necessarily just when they're happy. The fact that he was RUNNING AWAY might have given you a hint.
(And yes, Altus' spelling was bad but his message was right. Leave the poor dog alone. Go pick on someone with opposable thumbs)
"...'cause when Pleo comes down, he comes HAAAAAAARD"
Thank you so much for terrorizing your pets for our amusement! (It's the only reason I ever get my vacuum cleaner out, anymore.)
@YamIinLawSchool: You said "dick move" So I'm not the only one!
Thirdperson PleoCam... A weekly feature here on Gizmodo, look for it!!
Good grief, the dogs are fine. You people need to get out a bit more.
Nice video!
good stuff adrian, and thanks for that music i ripped from you, i get to listen to the rest of the track now!
Not even very funny - makes everyone including the dogs look retarded. If you want to freak out an animal for your own amusement why not try this... [www.youtube.com] ?
"Prettbnoxious" is now my new favourite word.
I'm siding with the dog on this one. Pleo is obnoxious. That said eventually the dog will get over the toy so it's not a big deal.
you have a nice house
So at the end I guess Pleo was marking it's territory?
what does the thing look like under its plastic skin?
maybe part 2 video?
Excellent soundtrack. Justice kicks ass.
Does it do anything other than make that "raw-rawe" sound? That would get real old.
You think that foam rubber would make a good chew toy.
I thought the repetitive sound effects were hilarious!
can the pleo actually walk? i've yet to see a video where the damn thing doesn't just stand around a grunt.
LOL, at about 20s left, you can see the dog has rescued his toy as well...deciding to flee with the one thing he loves.
That was awesome.
@Reverov: No one is.
@keebler... Written on a iPhone... And it was mant to be signed by Cesar Milan!
Justice ROCKS MY SOCKS.
Dude, you have some pretty wimpy dogs there.
I dug the Pleo-cam POV.
Hey, hippies, dogs enjoy a joke too. Maybe we should put them on thrones and feed them caviar and we should live on the floor, is that the way it is in your house? I'm sure the dog will need many years of counseling due to this event, and I happen to be
