What is The robodog about?

Gary and Sue dream of having a dog, but their father is allergic to fur. Mum solves the problem by building Chip, a clever robot dog. Chip can bark, walk and play, but he wants to be as impressive as Rex, the pedigree dog next door. When Rex’s owners make fun of him, Chip must prove that being different is not a weakness. With Gary and Sue cheering him on, Chip discovers that being a real friend matters more than looking like a champion.
