The Doggy Robot !

Owning a doggy robot has become the new trend in Japan these days. The new robot that works a guard dog records any breaking into the house by a digital camera which operate using Infra Red light, then calls the house owners at their mobiles and sends then snapshots of the robbery.

The dog costs about 2600 US dollars. I think we would miss the bark, but the good news is that you won't need to walk the dog or hire a dog walker...
