Robots, Pets Equally Decrease Loneliness

Dogs may have a hard time wrapping their paws around this one: Robotic competition is nipping at their heels in the man's best friend department. Can you believe that many people are enjoying the company of a robotic dog rather than a living dog. I know that they have found taking dogs into nursing homes has relieved the loneliness of residents so I guess having robotic dogs could be entertaining and fun for them also. I know I would rather have my little Boston Terrier, Holly, as a companion than a robotic dog, but to each his own, as they say.
