I'm fairly certain those were "scared noises", not menacing grunts.

this pleo thing reminded me about these videos with cats and tape - freakin funny, your dog still loves you I hope - what is it about the tape that makes cats do that? so strange!

What about the peanut butter on the roof of the mouth trick? Actually, I am sure that if Pleo was smothered in peanut butter, the dog wouldn't be running.. hell, wrap that thing in bacon and Pleo is toast.

Chasing my puppy around the house is exactly what my other half did with the Roboraptor we bought last year. Pretty much the same reaction from the puppy.

this article was lame instead of talking about a neat new gadget, you turned it into a piece of crap.

1. playing music was a sure sign it was was a waste of editorial space.

2. no real views of how pleo behaves or reacts

3. no info about the pleo at all.

4. a blind man could have done a better job.

That was great! I swear that was my lab in the video too!!! hey guys, this is not a thing that is hurting the dogs psychologically, they love attention. Chill out and find something more important to be concerned with, like homelessness, joblessness, or education (or lack thereof for some of you).

@Amsterdaam: I agree, I love my dog as much as the next guy. But at the end of the day my lab is just a dog. So much attention is given to mistreatment of dogs in this post-Michael Vick conviction era. But what about kids that go hungry everyday? or even worse are abused by their parents, the very people who are supposed to love them the most. What about Darfur? The list goes on and on.. The human atrocities and injustices in this world warrant a far greater outcry and response. I mean this is just a guy playing with his dogs and a new dinosaur.

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 a dog counselor. I'm actually a dog psychic. Yep, they just tell me what's wrong and I charge you 2,000 bucks a session. I can help you, but it's gonna cost big bucks.

@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)

Brian Sexton — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 13:09:13 EST

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.

Brian Sexton — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 13:03:12 EST

@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.

@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.
