Robotic seals: dogs, you have a new enemy

Paro — a therapeutic robot from Japan — doesn’t poop, doesn’t eat, and is sooo cute. Don’t you want to hug him.. ehm it?
Alright, it may look like a better version of a baby doll toy from China. But in fact there was something magical about it. It just felt alive!
Evolution (or rather breeding) blessed dogs with feature totally useless in wilderness — cuteness. But they still eat, poop, need to be taken care of. If there is no genetic modification they really could be slowly phased out by therapeutic robots like Paro.
But for now you are safe dogs, this one costs steep $6000. It is still cheaper to get a dog :).
