 project, and are interested in college students’ thoughts and beliefs about owning animatronic (robotic) pets. During this study, you will be asked your feelings about pet ownership and detail some of the challenges you have faced with pet ownership, if any.
 Additionally, you will be asked to view photos of animatronic pet products and rate your preferences about the pictured products’ functions. Your participation is completely voluntary and you may quit at any time. If you have questions about this project,
