When the ball droid BB-8 skittered across the screen in the first trailer for the newest Star Wars movie, its appearance set off a mass frenzy and prompted a few questions: Will the merchandise czars at Lucasfilm make a toy BB-8? Can I have it now? And, most important, is it good with pets?

The answers: yes, yes, and watch our video to find out.

Sphero has indeed created a BB-8 toy for Lucasfilm, and, beginning September 4 (also known as Force Friday, the day Star Wars merchandise is released), it’s available for $149.99. While VF.com was unable to tease out any Star Wars spoilers from Sphero, we did learn that the toy version of fighter pilot Poe Dameron’s faithful robot companion will gladly follow its owner around, send holographic messages, and respond when it hears the words “It’s a trap!”

As for whether or not it’s good with pets? VF.com put the BB-8 in a room full of puppies to determine the answer.
