Japanese car maker Toyota plans to sell a “companion robot” next year for about $400 in the hopes it will serve as a friend to lonely people. [1]
At just 4 inches tall, the robot – Kirobo Mini – speaks in a high-pitched baby voice, and will hit the market in Japan in 2017. [2]
Bruno the dog has become an iconic resident in Longville, Minnesota, thanks to his daily 4-mile trek into town to meet and greet with the locals.
After residents Debbie and Larry LaVallee lost their dog, a stranger showed up with Bruno saying that he had found their wayward pup. Although he wasn’t the little guy they had been searching for, they couldn’t leave Bruno all alone. Believing him to be abandoned, they took him in as their own. And while Bruno loves his parents, he also loves making the daily 4-mile walk into town. [1]
