  • Inside the World of SODOG™
    Emotional Support Meets Intelligent Play
    SODOG™ is an emotionally intelligent virtual pet that helps children aged 6−12 develop responsibility, empathy, and emotional resilience through playful care, heartfelt conversations, and evolving challenges.
Building blocks
More than screen time. This is soul time.
Feeding, grooming, walking, and playing with the puppy aren’t just tasks — they build structure, consistency, and a sense of responsibility. These actions unlock conversations and deepen the child-pet bond.
Daily Rituals That Build Discipline
At random moments, the dog transforms into one of two dragons:
• The Sad Dragon: a symbol of loneliness, sorrow, and unspoken pain.
• The Bully Dragon: a metaphor for frustration, miscommunication, and boundary-pushing behavior.

Unlike typical games, SODOG respects emotional readiness. Kids can choose whether and when to engage with these dragons.This autonomy models healthy consent — emotionally and socially.
Two Dragons, Two Lessons
In SODOG™, children adopt a digital puppy. That listens, responds, and tells stories.

During care moments or walks, they can ask their dog — all their countless "whys" and "hows." From "Why does a dog have a tail?" to "How do elevators work?", every question turns everyday interaction into meaningful discovery.

Time spent with SODOG is not only emotionally nourishing but intellectually enriching too.
Interactive AI Dog
The Goodbye Lesson
If the child consistently forgets to care for their puppy, the dog doesn’t get angry, but one day, it gently says goodbye and crosses the Rainbow Bridge.
Not a punishment — a quiet goodbye.
How It Works
Feed, walk, groom, and bond through consistent care.
2. Complete daily rituals
Choose your SODOG companion and give them a name.
If the need arises, learn emotional accountability through the Rainbow Bridge.
5. Grow through goodbye
Emotional visitors don’t knock. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they roar. You choose how to meet them.
4. Face the dragons
Ask questions, share stories, or just check in emotionally.
3. Tap to talk (text or voice)

Why Kids Need SODOG Now More Than Ever
SODOG is built at the intersection of:
• Developmental & pediatric neuropsychology
• Positive parenting models
• Ethical AI dialogue frameworks
• Emotional literacy education
Each interaction reflects real therapeutic logic — from CBT-based emotion naming to neuro-informed AI dialogue.

It reinforces:
✅ Impulse control & empathy (prefrontal cortex support)
✅ Emotion → Action → Reflection loops
✅ Gentle, daily practice of positive habits
Backed by Science
  • Calmer responses to big feelings
  • Easier bedtime conversations
  • Stronger sense of responsibility
  • Kids becoming more emotionally self-aware

✅ This is where digital play becomes real growth.
What Parents Might Notice
Modern childhood is under pressure:
• 70% of mental health issues begin before age 14
• Digital noise floods young minds but leaves them lonely
• Emotional literacy is missing in most homes and schools
• Parents want to help, but fear crossing emotional boundaries
SODOG™ offers a new path: playful, private, and proactive
The Problem
Leave your contact details to join the first wave of users— get exclusive access and the best deals!
We care deeply about digital safety:
• COPPA-compliant
• No ads. No third-party tracking. No open messaging
• Parent insights are anonymized and algorithmic — never expose private conversations
• You’re always in control — no spying, no scripts
Privacy-First. Always.
The Parent Button: Insight, Not Surveillance
SODOG™ isn’t just for kids — it’s built to include parents in the emotional journey without invading privacy. You’ll never see private messages, but you’ll gain access to thoughtful, science-backed insights into your child’s emotional world.
What the Parent Button offers:
Emotional Mood Infographics
Understand your child’s weekly emotional landscape at a glance — for example: "This week your child felt: Curious, Calm, and a little Anxious."
Visual charts show mood trends, emotional spikes, and improvements over time.
Daily Gentle Suggestions
Based on your child’s current emotional state, you’ll receive expert-backed nudges. For instance: "Tonight might be a great time to cook together or go for a short walk before bed."
Every suggestion is designed by child psychologists to help build connection through small moments.
Real-Time Alerts
If the app’s language algorithms detect patterns of distress or recurring negative emotional language, you receive a discreet notification.
Example: "Today your child expressed words related to loneliness and frustration more than usual."
