Just like us, our pets are living, breathing beings – just a different species. And that they’re creatures with minds of their own makes it all the more special when they decide to sit by us or spend time with us.

They’re sometimes used in settings with elderly people dealing with loneliness, isolation or dementia, or with children who are learning how to take care of a pet. You’ll save money on the best dog food or cat treats, too, so could these robot pets become more widespread?
