PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A new type of “K-9″ is joining the Portland Police Bureau. But it’s not like any other dog you’ve likely seen. “Spot” the four-legged robot is manufactured by Boston Dynamics and Portland police said at a news conference Thursday that he’ll be used in many ways, including bomb disposal.
