Centennial, Colo. April 5, 2021 /CSRwire/ – Like many teenagers, 14-year-old Belle has long dreamed of having a pet. But when a cancer diagnosis made it impossible for her to have an animal companion, she set her sights on something bigger – a pet dragon. Arrow Electronics and Make-A-Wish Colorado joined forces to bring Belle’s mythical creature to life, delivering a dynamic social robot that promises to provide engagement, encouragement, and friendship to the teenager.
“It’s as close to a dragon as can be, as a robot. I love it, “ said Belle, who received her dragon on March 23 and was honored by the Colorado Rockies in Opening Day ceremonies, which also featured the premiere of a video detailing the journey to bring the dragon to life.
