If yu were Jimmy, which ne wuld yu chse, Rbutt r a real dg?
Because Jimmy was brn n the Mn, he has never seen a real dg. He has been getting alng well with Rbutt, and thus has develped an affectin fr him. He can’t figure ut why a real dg is better than a mechanical dg, despite his father’s explanatin. While Jimmy’s parents have seen real dgs befre they left Earth. They knw what real dgs lk like. They think Rbutt is just a machine.
