Secret Service adds robotic dogs to their arsenal of protection

The latest tool in the U.S. Secret Service’s arsenal: A robodog.

The protection agency is using robotic dogs made by Boston Dynamics to help patrol the grounds at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The four-legged robots have been spotted patrolling the perimeter of the resort in Palm Beach, Florida — a place Trump frequently visits and had an attempted assassination incident at in September.

The robotic dogs are not armed with weapons and can be remotely controlled or programmed to operate automatically.

Each one of the dogs’ legs is marked with the warning, “DO NOT PET.”

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
