robotic dogs?

This is an interesting study i came across today, we all know that dogs have been scientifically shown to improve health, and quality of life, and most of us know on a personal level how much better we feel when we have been around our pups, however a new study by the Saint Louis University found that people experienced the same responses from interactions with a robotic dog!!! I know that i'll be sticking with living dogs, but from a geeky cyborg perspective I'm interested!
