Although not the first of its kind, this mobile phone for dogs seems to be the most sophisticated. Not being a dog owner (I’m a cat person, actually) I found it hard to imagine what use a dog could make of a phone, but I was soon put to rights.
You see, doggies get lost, the poor wee things, and unlike those clever cats, they can’t find their way home again. Aww. So they need a device like this which has GPS and can tell the owner exactly where poor Rover’s wandered off to. This new On4 Communications version also enables you the owner to set a ‘geo-boundary’ and alerts you if Rovie-poo unwittingly steps outside it (lured, perhaps, by a cunning cat).
As a final feature to lay to rest the owner’s worries when Rover goes astray, there’s a ‘call home’ button. If there’s a dog who can be trained to call home when he realises he’s lost, it would be great. Otherwise, you have to rely on some brave stranger to get their face close enough to your dog’s neck to call for him. And if you hear a smug miaowing on the line, you’ll know that even the old dog-and-bone wasn’t enough to save poor Rovie.
