Who's unnerved and angry at robot dogs?
People who watched that one episode of Black Mirror.
That's fair
sounds like typical manufactured outrage from journalists trying to improve their CTR on their non-news..
people who hate dogs AND robots
But robot dogs don't have any of the issues that typically cause people to hate dogs, such as pooping all over the sidewalks, or barking loudly in an apartment building.
Why would you hate dogs for poop on the sidewalk? What are they supposed to do? Hate the owners that can't be bothered to pick up after themselves.
Well of course nobody hates the individual dogs personally. It just means the general sentiment of "this place would be so much nicer without all this shit".
But they still have all the issues that robots have.
What issues do robots have?
