Welcome to Aibo Avenue, a popular city in a world run by Aibo robot dogs! It had been 12 years since the last of the Aibos, the ERS-7M3s, were introduced into the world. And it had been 4 years since official repairs were cut off, and all Aibos were left to fend for themselves. So it's the last thing anyone is expecting when a brand new model makes itself known... The puppy-like ERS-1000! After over a decade of getting to know each other, the older Aibos now must adapt to this strange new presence. One that can run the fastest, has big OLED puppy eyes, TWO cameras... And NO MEMORY STICK?? Surely this isn't bound to cause any trouble, right...? This is just a silly story about Aibos I've come up with, inspired by real events Cover: Photo of my ERS-7 Toby
