What struck me as odd was that the woman from Santa Rosa, Linda McKenzie, 'now regularly takes it [the robot/pet] to visit her 87 year-old father'.
The second to last paragraph where they describe Linda McKenzie 'distraught' to hear it didn't have a soul just left me with chills.
Is it me, or does that lady sound a bit nuts? Everyone else they interviewed seemed like they just enjoyed gadgets.
