VR, you may wish to look at the books/philosophy of Peter Singer, as Sparrow mentioned (I haven't myself, but his are books that people I intellectually respect have suggested I attend to). However, before diving into that, perhaps dip a toe with another author, Raymond Gaita, and his book The Philosopher's Dog (I think this might somehow have some empathetic advantages with yourself ). I think the latter is available as an ebook (not sure about "for Sony"), but I don't now about any of Peter Singer's.

Cheers,
Marc
