Strap a set of horns on it and BIGDOG becomes BIG-BULL robot. You don't want to kick this one.

Here's another shot of the BigDog charging at the matador.

Here's a nice side shot of BIGDOG and rear shot of the horns.

Here's a nice clear photo of the BIGDOG from the rear. As you can tell from the saddle bags, the BIGDOG can be used like a pack animal.

BigDog gets kicked - The famous scene where BigDog gets kicked by his master. Don't worry it was just a test to see if the robot could recover from being off balance.

BIGDOG training with Army personnel. I guess that's what you call an Army Dog.

From the words of the manufacturer - Boston Dynamics

The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight. BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others. In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load. BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with the goal of creating robots that have rough-terrain mobility that can take them anywhere on Earth that people and animals can go. The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).
