    Sigh I hear people say "Dont treat them like children." You aren't. You are triggering a memory path in their brain that brings back happiness. Thats a good thing

    the only thing i would be worried about is the patient would think its so real, if it ran out of batteries, they would probably say ''It's dead!''

      I thought about that as well but I bought one anyway. The benefits out weight the negatives and There will always be someone around to change batteries. I'm thinking of telling my Mom we just need to put batteries in it and it's not real. I'm sure she will be still confused but happy when her companion is recharged and looking for attention :-) Wish me luck Krystal

    to those concerned about the battery issue and "death or passing out in front of the seniors", i'd assume the app has a battery consumption tracker or some battery warning thing to let the staff know on the app to avoid that very issue also, if the staff know how long the battery lasts on average, again they can plan accordingly and make sure they take the pup away before he "passes out" shall we say. just my thoughts on it.

    When your young getting older never enters your mind. People who have real animals are always faced with the loss of a pet. I have sent many animals to the Lord over the years. I think this puppy can bring so much joy especially for seniors. As technology continues to evolve I believe there will be AI robotic companion animals as well as for people with disabilities. It's difficult when someone has limitations. If we live long enough we never know what will happen to us mentally and physically. If it makes someone happy and comforted isn't that all that should matter.

    I'm all for helping people but no... I don't see why an elder could not have a dog around as long as it is in a medicalized facility with staff who can make sure the dogs don't starve to death and have their needs answered. There's a lot of calm and relax senior dogs who would be great matches for this seniors. In extreme cases, where an animal is REALLY not a possibility, why not?

      for dementia patients is useful AAI (Animal Assisted Intervention) with dogs and this animals are trained for doing the best job, always with their trainer
      Some patients need to be removed frome the therapy for illness, allergies to dog or stressful behavior; maybe use a robot could be great for this persons. Also, the dog could be stressed, you need to control them always and you need to care about the dog and the patient
      This pet maybe is the best compromised and we could use both, dog and robotic pet
