Believe it or not, well-trained real dogs also "move in response to humans’ voices"

I really like these fake dogs. At least their owners won't be walking them past my window at 6am on a Sunday morning while their bark their heads off. SELL MORE I say!

Real dogs are expensive, usually 100,000-200,000 yen and they need space.

Real dogs are expensive, usually 100,000-200,000 yen

Dog bed, collar, lead & raincoat - 15,000

Assortment of chew toys to save the furniture - 10,000

Being woken each morning by a lick on the face and greeted each evening by a waggly tail - PRICELESS.

Funny!

Cute are they, these little doggies.

Licking the ground

mark to the sound.

That is different of

what a real dog might do in this situation.

Where will such development lead to?

My opinion:

Toys should be regarded as what they are:

modern ways to waste time and money.
