NO, IT ISN'T A DOG...Pixy by Snapchat

Snapchat says 'It's a pocket-sized, free-flying sidekick that's a fit for adventures big and small.' It does look quite cute in our opinion and fits in the palm of your hand. With the simple tap of a button, Pixy flies in four preset flight paths. It can float, orbit, and follow wherever you lead, without a controller or any set-up.

And, Pixy finds its home in your hand, landing gently at the end of the flight. So it is kind of a pet without the excessive greed for treats and pets.
