Would You Get A Robot Dog?

So, the AI thing is humming along. We are seeing articles about these fake rubber women (UGH)... and now the robot dog. 

Pardon moi, there are plenty of real dogs, rescue dogs, lingering in shelters and foster homes that need a new family. Opinion: a robot dog will never be a substitute for a real dog, ever, in my world. I don't get the purpose of this Frankendog. Ever read the study of the Rhesus monkeys, one group with the fake wire mother and the other group with the fuzzy mother? What was the outcome; what were the conclusions? (HINT: It didn't go so well for the monkeys with the wire mother)

Read the article and let me know if you agree with me:  Robotic puppy, shown at electronics trade show, seen as boon for mental health
