Big Dog

Except that it's been circulating on the web, this clip has very little to do with the web per se. But dang is it a neat hack. Or really, a whole bunch of painstakingly assembled neat hacks.

Keep in mind that the beast is carrying about 150 kilos (340 lb) for most of the clip.

MILD SPOILER:





If you're like me, you probably winced when the guy tried to kick the beast over, and cheered (at least inwardly) when it got back up. Empathy toward anything that shows goal-directed behavior appears to reside in yet another deep-seated brain circuit ...
