Robot Dog Eases Loneliness
Posted on Feb 28, 08 08:38 AM PDT

Research has shown that a friendly pooch is more than capable of making older folk feel less isolated, and thankfully this effect does not come about by natural born dogs only. Apparently, robot dogs are also able to remove the feeling of loneliness in old people as well. I think that robotic dogs are the better option since they don't poop around and are relatively lower maintenance - after all, you can leash it to a nearby power outlet whenever its batteries run out. Sure, they won't be able to hunt down thieves or act as a guard dog, but we all know that it is often loneliness that kill people.
