Robot dogs are a great gift for a kid who loves animals, but also perfect when you're just not ready to commit to a pet yet. Many kids beg for pets, especially if they have a friend or relative that has one they love playing with. However, they don't quite understand the responsibility attached to training, feeding, and cleaning up after a pet. The best robot dog toy may partially fulfill that desire for a furry friend, but there is nothing quite like a real puppy.
