Real Dogs VS Robot Dogs
Students in our class have different opinions on keeping real dogs or robot dogs. Here are some of their ideas.
Tim
I like keeping real pet dogs because loneliness is terrible, and I need a pet around. Whenever I look after my dog Rocky, I feel better. And my grandma benefits from taking care of it. Rocky is fury and soft, which gives us a natural sense of closeness. When I enter the front door after school every day, it is usually the first to greet me with its tail wagging. Sometimes, it will run in circles around me to get my attention, and it will roll over so that I can pet its tummy.

@Tim I don’t agree to keep a real dog. Keeping robot dogs is wonderful! They don’t lose hair or eat things the way real dogs do. They won’t bite or scratch you. They won’t sharpen their claws on your new sofa, or chew the leg off the dining room table. What’s more, your robot dogs won’t have to go to the vet or die, leaving you in a state of emotional heartbreak. I enjoy living with my robot dog.
Lucy
So do I. Nowadays, the burden of keeping a real dog is quite heavy. You have to bathe it, buy clothes, and see a vet when it is sick, maybe at least two or three thousand yuan a year. In addition to paying money, there is also a burden of time and energy. Some robot dogs can do many things: they can herd sheep, walk around the fields, open doors, do some dangerous and dirty jobs instead of people and so on. @Jack

I think both of them are fantastic. It’s true that you never have to worry about giving your robot dogs water or food. They can wag their tails, play balls, move their ears back and forth and blink their eyes. Robot dogs can also understand different words, such as “sit”, “stay”, and “come”. If you want a pet dog, but worry about taking care of it, then a robot dog will be a good choice. Now robot dogs can “learn” and remember their daily experiences. However, real dogs can play with people and make them happy. They can also interact with their owners, but robot dogs just can’t do this yet.
