Great, now I feel sad for virtual dogs too.

What kind of sick sadist thinks these things up? My wife can't even walk past pets up for adoption without feeling depressed. #sniff

@Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I was thinking the same thing man.

It actually makes me look forward to getting home later and seeing my #dog go nuts as soon as I walk through the door. I wish I could say my wife was as excited to see me walk through that same door...

@UnderLoK: (Insert lame overused joke about your wife being as excited as the dog when I walk through your door here)

Seriously though, my wife is usually pretty damn happy to see me when I come home.

The cats however...are usually at the top of the steps meowing at me to feed them. At least they are when they're not trying to trip me and cause me to fall to my death. #sniff

It would be better if the "dog" looked like the ones from resident evil. #sniff

I might need to carry around a change of pants if anyone decides to follow this advice. #sniff

Why am I completely not understanding the concept of this toy? I saw the video and all I saw was a little girl overly excited about her plush toy touching random objects with its nose.

It didn't even move, or light up, or say anything.

My nephew would throw this thing out in a second. -_-

@Terrorsaur - Five Six: It's doing something - vibration at different speeds in different parts of the toy, or sounds. But for some inexplicable reason they decided not to present the audio part and just play music over it instead. Fail on the part of the video editor.

@jdale: I'm inferring that it can be used with young sight impaired children to help them learn about their surroundings (the "thanks" at the end of the video). It provides auditory and tactile feedback with the speaker and vibrations.

Of course, that girl seems VERY happy considering she's going around CHOKING that dog everywhere she goes.

Or you could do what I do: give it a cup of whiskey and some benedryl to make it sleepy all day.

Oh wait, that's what I do with my children.
