Mio Pup White/Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter got this from her sister for Christmas and was excited about it. She wanted to take it everywhere in the house with her. Unfortunately, unknown to us she took it with her to the bathroom and as she flushed the potty, the bone fell in and went on through.
After looking on the Web and Hasbro's web site for a replacement form I ended up having to e-mail them to ask about a replacement. Their answer was that it is not available separately. The problem is that without the bone, the pup eventually gets "hungry." You need to give it the bone so it isn't hungry anymore. Now we either get to have a Mio Pup that's hungry all the time or press the "reset" button whenever it gets to that point.
My daughter will likely lose interest in it before we find a way to get a new bone.
Thanks Hasbro and Tiger Electronics. I'm sure you couldn't imagine any way the separate bone could get lost by a child.

Mio Pup Purple/Blue Review

(More customer reviews)My 6 year old loves this puppy--we are unable to have a pet in our apt. so this was the closest we could have to the real thing. It's not near the level of interaction of having a real dog but my daughter's imagination more than makes up for that; She likes the idea of emotions and lights the pups displays and really doesn't care that it doesn't do "traditional dog-like actions". It all depends on what your child's expectations are for this toy that will determine the enjoyment value. For those who need a replacement bone or battery cover you can go to www.TIGERELECTRONICS.COM and type in "mio pup" in the search window and it will bring up a page with the order form.... the cost was reasonable also. I hope this info. was helpful.

If Mio Pup is making eyes at you, it’s because that’s how he communicates. This robotic Rover can walk, talk, play music, and more. And he lets you know exactly what he wants with his more than 100 "eye-cons"--images that light up in his eyes to express moods like happiness, hunger, love, and surprise. Standing about 10 inches tall, the futuristic friend is an interactive companion that uses technology to let owners know how he’s feeling.

Four touch sensors let Mio Pup know when you are petting him (and, again, his eyes will tell you how much he likes it). Tickling him under his chin may cause him to strut, wag his tail, wiggle his ears, or even play music. When Mio Pup’s eyes tell you that he’s hungry, you can "feed" him the included magnetic bone until his eye-con lets you know he’s had his fill.

Similar to a real pet, the more attention you give Mio Pup, the more he’ll appreciate you. Stroke his head, chin, or back and he’ll walk toward you for more petting. A built-in microphone lets the purple pooch know when you are talking and he will reply with his own babbling or by playing musical tunes. The Mio Pup requires four AA batteries, which are included.
