Yume Inu vs Yume Neko


Only in Japan..

A Dog Lover? If you are, you will love this news from Mainichi news.

This Yume Inu DX (Dream dog) from Sega toys is a life-size Golden Retriever robot that moves like a real dog, barks, wags its tail and you even can 'sit it down' in English as 'the dog' reacts to six English words such as 'lie down'.

This adorable Yume Inu was nominated as finalist for The High Target Toy Award at 2008 Japan Toy Association Awards. Priced at 34,650 Yen, this robo dog is perfect for those who are unable to have real pet due to allergy as well as no risk of being bitten.

it's a good invention,I think.If someone choose this toy pet,they do not be worried about the death of their pet.I had a little rabbit last year.It has soft ears,shory tail and gray hair.But it is dead already.

Satoko,

Same with me, I can't have dog here since I live in apartment too.
So would you consider to have Yume Inu? :)
