Actually, I would still prefer a robot anyway. There are plenty of reasons why the dog could choose not to follow its training on any particular day. The dog will also eventually tire from domestic work. The programming "breadth" possible for a robot should out-strip the number of tasks that a dog can be trained to do. Finally, the dog will always require more maintenance, and have a more limited lifespan. Unless its training extends to clearing up after itself then I still prefer the robot alternative, all of the previous points not withstanding!
What is perhaps more interesting than to debate the merits of robot versus dog, is to wonder what might be the motivation behind the scientists who chose to train and clone the pit bulls? Which species of animal do would be considered next?
