They say a dog is a man's best friend, but for many people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, the demands of caring for a dog or pet can be a challenge. But 'Jennie,' a lifelike robotic puppy from Tombot, which has been wowing crowds at CES 2025, is designed to change all that, by providing companionship and unconditional love for those who are unable to look after a real animal on their own. 'Jennie' is a life-like robotic yellow Labrador puppy that responds to touch and voice commands and even wags its tail.
