As Dodo interacts with Jerry, however, she becomes increasingly impressed by his character. Jerry’s friendliness, bravery, and zest for life begin to touch Dodo, revealing her potential for emotional growth. Over time, she develops a sense of awareness and independence, differentiating her from the mindless robot she was initially programmed to be.
