The future is now, and it comes in the shape of drones delivering…dog food.

WHAAAAAAT?

That’s what went through our heads when we first saw this video.

Clearly, they’re going to give Amazon a run for their money with what they’re calling Project Wing.

We have to already give Google major props because of all the items they could choose to deliver in their test run flight, they decided on dog treats.

Don’t believe us? Well, here’s the hoomans calling the drone…
