The best part about having a dog is that you need to go out of the house and walk it three times a day or you're a bad person. That one single aspect improves your life a lot.
The walking is great for you. Getting out of the house everyday wasn't a given for me since I work remotely. And doing this chore every day just makes you like the little guy more.
I'm not sure plugging the dog's batteries in will have the same effect.

Get back from the beach "right, cracking morning, top of the world, lets on with some code". Took 9 years for my other half to convince me to get a dog, now I'm a fully committed dog person.
- JaumeGreen 3y agoI haven't slept 8 hours more than 3 or 4 times since I have dogs. I need more than the 6 or 7 I get of sleep because of them, my mental and physical health suffers for this. We can't go on vacation, or even have a night out somewhere else, without planning and paying for them to be hosted somewhere. I love my dogs, but I'm looking forward with both dread and hope for the days they will no longer be around. A dog that could be turned off would be much better in this regard.
- warabe 3y agoAgreed. I have a shiba dog, and he is super cute! However, I have to take him out for walk more than an hour EverySingleDay. So, I have to spend more than 400 hours a year, i.e. 4000 hours for ten years. To be honest, spending 4000 hours is enough for making you a semi-professional in any fields. So, I don't recommend having a dog, unless you are literally CRAZY about dogs.
- lostlogin 3y agoThis must be a breed thing? Our rescue mutt can be left in (we block the couch or the little terror sleeps on it), or left out outside (where he pretends to shiver). He can stay inside for 12 hours at a time without issues. He would be fine at a kennel.
- lodovic 3y agoI doubt that I could love a robot dog as much as a real live one. You can't replace a child or a spouse with a robot either.
- skripp 3y agoThis is not a dog replacement. It's a robot that looks like a dog.
