Carers at an old folks' home are helping elderly residents fight loneliness - with these cat and dog ROBOTS. The furry robotic pets - Lucy and Hasbro - have been brought in to give the OAPs some company. The four-legged robo-pets meow and bark and wag their tails when petted by residents at St Oswald's retirement village in Gloucester. Lucy, a ginger cat with fur, can lie lies on its back to have her tummy rubbed while Hasbro a Golden Retriever wags his tail when stroked. The robot animals are used to reduce anxiety and build confidence for those living alone.
