Companies have tried again and again to create the perfect robo-dog…Tried and failed, often miserably. The Sega Dream Dog DX is the best yet, super cuddly and pretty damn believable. It recently wowed humans at the Tokyo Toy Show, responding to voice commands, sitting, rolling over, barking and even nipping at your fingers. It’s the closest thing to a real dog I’ve seen yet. It’s dog sounds make your geek heart fall in love. It’s available in September, and the Dream Dog DX Golden Retriever will be sell for just 29,800 ($276).
