I want one for my dog. She could be chasing bunnies in a field instead of lying on the rug.

They get bored like we do. Animals are not that much different from us. Researchers seem to be continually surprised by that. They really only need to watch their rats clutching a piece of cheese while hunkered in a corner to understand that. Maybe somewhere inside them, they don't really want to know because that might cause them to question their own behaviour towards these creatures whom they should be treating with love and respect but instead they treat them like impassive machines.
