But...it's not a pet though, is it? It's to assist those who are visually impaired. Not something to make light of.

Do you have a problem with developing technology that assists the blind TTT?Or is it just your sense of humour?

But there is something light-hearted about it isn't there? If it's purely a navigation device, why is it shaped to resemble a dog?

Bit of a SOHF from Pasta there.

Does it poo everywhere and will it nick my sausages when my back is turned?

I don't think it's carnivorous, just needs an electric top-up & a spot of 3 in 1 oil now and then.

It's a brilliant idea for visually impaired people. I hope production will increase.

Fortunately all I need is a hairy, four legged, cuddly, faithful, loving and slobber chopsy canine.
