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.

Boston was named in the top ten “Best of the Best Destinations” in the U.S. for food, earning the sixth spot in Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards. The list encourages visitors to explore beyond the history of the city with museums like the Isabella Stewart Gardner and old neighborhoods like Little Italy.

The Boston Dynamics robot, model name Spot, will join six older robot models already assigned to the Metro Explosives Disposal Unit, a group of 16 bomb technicians and seven K-9 teams from police agencies across the Portland area. Similar robots have sparked controversy elsewhere.
