Tekno Dog is a robotic toy puppy manufactured by the Los Angeles-based Manley Toy Quest. Tekno reacts to touch, sound and light with puppy-like behaviors.

Introduced in 2000, the reactive robot has a wagging tail and flapping ears, changing eye colors that indicate "mood," as well as a vocabulary of translatable robo-dog phrases—attributes that give it a distinctive puppy appearance, compared to its closest existing competitor, the species-ambiguous Robopet. Though the year 2000 model was discontinued, a revised version is available that is more versatile than the original issue, able to walk forward and backward, and turn left or right. It does not, however "roll over," as does Robopet.

Techno is available in several "breeds" and colors.

1. Dalmatian
2. Beagle
3. Jack Russell Terrier
4. Silver
5. Black
6. Pearl White
