It would know the difference but i doubt it would care.

Yes. If it gets feed, it will feel affection. Or will it? Could a dog feel affection from a robot.
Sorry for the mistake. Ordering pizza and typing at same time.

I guess the question goes, how 'human' is the robot? If it's basic enough to simply feed it and make sure it grows, then when a human arrives it will quickly realize all the other aspects that the robot doesn't have.
Now if the robot is very human in behavior, I would suppose it's exoskeleton would be the difference. If the robot has an outer skin later, then the answer to your question is: It wouldn't.

Depends, does the robot really have good AI?

A dogs sense of smell is 1000 times stronger then our own. It might not know the thing raising it was a robot but it would absolutely know it was not a human being just from the smell. Unless of course it had never met a human being but then it could not know of a difference.
