5. SOUNDBITE (English) Jessica Kalichman, WowWee:
"This is MINTiD Dog-E by WowWee. So what's cool about Dog-E is that when you unbox the dog, they all look the same. So you got a white blank canvas which first reveals its shape of its ear. So when they come folded and they'll reveal either one up, both up, both down, etc. Its tongue. So both dogs have a pink tongue. Some will have a blue tongue like a chowchow and super rare dogs have a gold tongue. Once you turn on the dog, through its tail, it will tell you what you mean. So it talks with its tail through a POV. So first you will touch the dog's nose to reveal its eye shape and then its colours. So first, once to reveal the eye shapes, the tail will then tell you to play with its toy. Once you start playing with the toy, the dog will then turn a multitude of colours. There were 35 million varieties and it all then mint. So the eye colour, the paw colour and the tail colour will then reveal itself."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jessica Kalichman, WowWee:
"When you lift the dog, its personality will be revealed. So the chest will change colour as well as it will reveal its bark. So it'll toggle through a variety of different barks. And once it lands, you find out what your dog is like. So the personality could be sweet, it could be lazy, it could be protective, it could be active, etc. There's over a million different combinations of what you can get. From there, then you can start having fun with your dog, so you can play with your dog as is by petting it, showing love, playing with its toy. It's reactive to both the toy as a magnet through its nose as well as the squeaky sound that comes into the toy. And then there's a companion app. So, in the companion app, there's a multitude of ways to play. You can program tricks with your dog, you can send messages through its POV tail and there's a whole gaming suite. And the fun part is you get to take care of your dog. So the app reveals the hunger meter, the play meter and a variety of different things, like if it needs love or to be cared for and you can save multiple profiles. So, it really could be a dog for everyone in the family. You can toggle through different profiles between mom, dad, brother, sister, etc. and everyone can have their own doggie within the app."

"I do think for anyone that's either not ready to have a dog yet, this is a great test to take care of it, learn to feed it, nurture it, and really have that trial run for a family. As well as hypoallergenic, there's no issues with this dog. So you don't run into any of those issues."
