Robot police dog shot multiple times credited with avoiding bloodshed
Massachusetts state police say a robotic dog helped avert a tragedy
A robotic dog is being thanked by state police in Massachusetts for helping avert a tragedy involving a person barricaded in a home.
The robotic dog named Roscoe was part of the Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad and deployed on March 6 in a Barnstable house after police were fired upon. Police sent in two other robots often used for bomb disposal into the house to find the suspect along with the robotic dog.
Controlled remotely by state troopers, it first checked the two main floors before finding someone in the basement. The person, armed with a rifle, twice knocked over the robotic dog before shooting it three times and disabling its communication.
The person then shot at one of the other robots and an outdoor swimming pool before police deployed tear gas and arrested them.
“The incident provided a stark example of the benefits of mobile platforms capable of opening doors and ascending stairs in tactical missions involving armed suspects,” state police said in a statement. “In addition to providing critically important room clearance and situational awareness capabilities, the insertion of Roscoe into the suspect residence prevented the need, at that stage of response, from inserting human operators, and may have prevented a police officer from being involved in an exchange of gunfire.”
Boston Dynamics, the company that made the robotic dog known as a SPOT robot, said in a statement that it was the first time one of them had been shot.
“We are relieved that the only casualty that day was our robot,” the company said. “It’s a great example of how mobile robots like Spot can be used to save lives.”
Authorities have not identified the shooter or said what charges they face.
The robotic dog was sent to Boston Dynamics to remove the bullets. It will remain with the company and a new unit will be sent to state police.

VÉLEZ-MÁLAGA
Vélez-Málaga will reinforce the protection of beaches with lifeguard dogs this summer: {Translation, summary}– The Town Hall of Vélez-Málaga will reinforce the safety of the beaches of the municipality this summer with trained dogs, which will be used especially in rescue and aquatic rescue work, according to the newspaper Málaga Hoy on Monday. The dogs will work side by side with the human lifeguards who ensure the safety of users during the summer season.
– The rescue dogs will be involved in the rescue of swimmers in critical situations and the transport of floats or life rings to the most dangerous areas. In addition, the dogs will also be trained to use their keen sense of smell in search and rescue situations. They will be able to detect missing persons under the surface of the sea in murky or inconspicuous water situations, thus speeding up search operations and increasing the chances of a successful rescue.

Dogs to start lifeguard training on Costa del Sol beach
Eugenio Cabezas
Wednesday, 24 April 2024, 14:13
Following the announcement earlier this month that Vélez-Málaga on the eastern stretch of the Costa del Sol will have lifeguard dogs on its beaches for the first time this summer, from 2 to 5 May the dogs and their handlers will be taking part in a training course on Torre del Mar’s dog beach.
This national initiative aims to improve safety on beaches during the summer season by using dogs that are specially trained for water rescue work, from rescuing swimmers in distress to transporting floats or life saving rings where needed.
The project has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Canine Aquatic Rescue Association and is organised by lifeguard company Servical.
The courses will run from 9am to 9pm each day and will be given by Miguel Sánchez-Merenciano García at the Torre del Mar dog beach. Twelve dogs, all of which are Newfoundlands and Labradors, along with their respective handlers, will take part.
Councillor for beaches Jesús Pérez Atencia said, “Torre del Mar’s mayor's office and the beaches department are very proud as this is the first course of its kind to be held in Andalucía."
Manuel Durán, coordinator of the municipal beaches department said, “There are going to be workshops in the water and also on land with canine rescue, rescue from boats, obedience courses, and adapted bathing, among others.”
He added, “On the last day of the course I recommend everyone to visit Torre del Mar’s dog beach as there will be a demonstration that is sure to be of interest to everyone, where you can see how they work with these animals.”

What's the point? They're "notoriously unreliable"
Torre del Mar will be hosting a course for 12 Labradors and Newfoundlands and their handlers ahead of the summer season and there will be a public demonstration of their skills on the last day
