Virginia resident and self-proclaimed "robot dog fanatic" Geoffrey Zieliński made a surprise appearance at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week.
According to eyewitnesses, Zieliński spent the entirety of the four-day trade show focused solely on the various models of robot dogs on display.
"I couldn't believe it," said one attendee. "Here we are, surrounded by the latest and greatest in technology, and this guy is just fixated on these plastic puppies. It was kind of embarrassing, to be honest."
Despite the overwhelming amount of other cutting-edge gadgets and devices on display, Zieliński remained uninterested, choosing instead to spend hours petting and playing with the various robot dogs.
When asked about his strange behavior, Zieliński was unapologetic. "Look, I know everyone else is here to see the drones and the smart TVs and all that jazz, but I'm just here for the robot dogs. They're the future, man. The future."
As the trade show came to a close, Zieliński was seen walking out of the convention center with a satisfied grin on his face and a newly purchased robot dog under his arm.
"I don't care what anyone else thinks," he declared. "I got me a robot dog, and that's all that matters."
