Supporting Details and Dialogue: Alicia just received her new robot for her birthday after asking every day for a year! “Mom, I am so excited to have Dogit, he barks just like my real dog,” said Alicia. “What’s even cooler is that if I pull on Dogit’s tail and throw a bone, he will catch it!” she exclaimed.

“If you like that, push the red heart on his chest and he will play with your dog,” said mom. She also told Alicia that Dogit could fill the dog bowl with dog food for her real dog, if they switched on his hunger sensor at the top of his head.

With amazement Alicia then said, "Mom, you won't believe it but Dogit can clean up dog hair around the house if we pull on his front right paw!"

Conclusion: Dogit is Alicia’s favorite gadget and her mom is happy she bought it too. She and her mom are still learning about all of his features!
