Dog Mimicry Pet

They are mostly known for their love of cats but the Japanese also have a soft spot for dogs, especially those of their own breeds like the Shiba or the Akita, to which the famously faithful Hachiko belonged. So even by its looks alone, the Dog Mimicry Pet was bound to be a great hit in Japan and if you share their love for these cute maple and white dogs, you'll adore it too and so will your children. But give it three AAA alkaline batteries and you'll see that this toy is more than just a pretty face!

The Dog Mimicry Pet contains a special audio reception and reproduction chip that allows it to record everything that's said nearby and reproduce it exactly – not just in Japanese but in any language – all while moving up and down. This makes the dog uniquely useful for children who have just started talking and why the manufacturer recommends the toy for children aged three or older: by having the dog mimic their voice and then them also repeating the words, children develop better language skills while at the same time enjoy playing with this cute little animal.
