The interactive toy is part robot, part balloon dog and shares over 60 sounds and movements. The unusual robot pet toy barks, sits, walks and scoots just like a real dog, except that it also includes sensors that allow the toy to be "popped" and "reinflated." Squeakee boasts the ability to listen to [voice commands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-robot-dog) and can even "mark" the floor using a yellow light. Already, Squeakee the Balloon Dog is being touted as Toy of the Year and many kids will be asking for Squeakee the Balloon Dog on their holiday wish list.
