Check out Zoomer, a new, robotic dog.

Zoomer is awesome in robot form.  He acts just as a puppy would.  He zips around, does silly things and even pees.  Yeah, I know.  By pees, I mean lifts his leg- no liquid comes out.  Zoomer’s commands vary from sit, lay down, play with me, to pee and guard me.  Each command is easy to use as well, with a tap on the head and saying the word Zoomer before it, the command is issued.  The booklet included with Zoomer includes most of his commands, even ones he hasn’t learned yet.  He learns them by being played with more.  There are also some commands which you and Zoomer will figure out together.
