It’s a sad day in Sony-land. Though we don’t have absolute confirmation, a gander at Sony’s corporate website seems to say that the company has halted new product development of this lovable robot dog, and production was supposed to have stopped at the end of last year. This despite recent scientific research showing the health benefits of robotic pets.
