# 🐕 Woof Tracker

A Reachy Mini app that tracks people and dogs with special enthusiasm for our four-legged friends!

## Features

- **Tracks the closest person** in view using YOLOv8 object detection
- **IMMEDIATELY switches to any dog** that appears (dogs always win!)
- **Says "Woof woof!"** when it spots a dog
- **Scans around** looking for new targets when nobody is visible

## How It Works

1. The robot's camera captures video frames
2. YOLOv8 detects people (class 0) and dogs (class 16)
3. Priority logic: Dogs > Closest Person > Scan
4. Head moves to track the target
5. When a dog is spotted: wiggle antennas + play sound!

## Installation
