NYPD's robot dog will be returned after outrage

The NYPD will part ways with "Digidog," the robotic police dog that became the subject of a City Council subpoena after images of it went viral. The department told The Post on Wednesday that it ended a contract with Boston Dynamics to lease the four-legged robo-cop. "The contract has been terminated and the dog will be returned," a spokesperson said. The sudden termination comes after a clip of the machine patrolling a Manhattan housing project went viral, sparking backlash and drawing comparisons to the dystopic TV series "Black Mirror." Mayor Bill de Blasio then urged the NYPD to "rethink" its use of the robot.
