He walks, he talks, he runs and he plays. ⁣

He's “Waldog,” an AI-powered robot that is making the rounds in the northern city of Monterrey, Mexico, to raise awareness about animal abuse and welfare. ⁣
⁣
With a metallic, friendly voice, Waldog is about the size of a beagle and initiates conversations with children and adults about animal rights.⁣
⁣
"Hi, I'm Waldog, and I'm here to give a voice to those who don't have one, the animals who live on the streets," he told one group of laughing residents in the low-income neighborhood of Santa Catarina in Monterrey. ⁣
⁣
But it will also serve a practical purpose, Fernandez said in an Instagram post: Waldog will flag trash on the street, potholes and register fellow street dogs.⁣
⁣
Waldog told them his job is to “raise awareness” about animal treatment. ⁣
⁣
Federal Senator Waldo Fernandez of Monterrey told Reuters that he paid $4,084 for Waldog with his own money and named the pet after himself. Waldog needs adult accompaniment and is operated by a remote control. ⁣
