gerijoy a MIT based apps development company has released virtual talking dog apps

The GeriJoy companion runs as software on a standard, consumer tablet, such as Apple’s iPad or any number of Google Android devices. Place the tablet in a convenient position such as your loved one’s nightstand, and once plugged in, the companion and its virtual environment will constantly be displayed on the screen.
The Helper uses GeriJoy’s technology to create appropriate responses (e.g. saying something in reply) instantly. Thus, the GeriJoy companion behaves with true intelligence and compassion. This makes adoption incredibly easy, no matter your loved one’s physical and mental capabilities. Zero typing and zero technical skills required. Our Helpers work around the clock, allowing the GeriJoy companion to keep your loved one company 24/7.
