The CyberDog 2 is Xiaomi's take on the robot dog: smaller, cheaper and more pet-like than the original, backflips included, with a design reminiscent of a miniature doberman.

The problem is getting one: it's sold mainly in China and aimed at developers. If the Go2 didn't exist it would be a great option; since it does, it's the alternative for Xiaomi fans.
