That’s got to be a well-behaved dog, or you’re going to be buying a lot of drones.

A crazy lab pup would have the drone on the leash. Good movie material. Chevy Chase and the Kung fu flu.

Nah. Smart folks would just add radio controls to an Osprey. Or walk the dog themselves. What does this save? If the CV19 virus is out there, the dog will bring it home anyway. People are over the top insane right now. I am ashamed of the human race.

LOL!! Try, just try that with my 73 lb. 1/2 American Bulldog, 1/4 American Staffordshire Terrier, with the rest being mostly GSD and Lab.
