Watch Dogs - I mean YOU Watch THEM...

Thoughts of a technical solution for stray dogs brewed in my brain after my dogs had been AWOL for 18 hours... here's the product idea I came up with.

The Dog Cell Phone!

Great, huh? ...although some less creative thinkers might be hitting their browser's 'home' button about now... Wait!! Let me explain further! Please?

One key bit of the whole idea came from this news article - about how you can allow folks to see where you are on Google Maps with a GPS cellphone and the right cloud-computing-app.

Then the fill in ideas started...
  • A harness that holds the phone securely between the dog's shoulder blades...
  • Special features for the phone - it auto answers for pre-selected caller ID numbers so your dog can hear your voice commands where ever he/she might roam. It won't answer any other number nor will it 'ring'.
  • It has no unneeded features - so it's CHEAP ;)
Just consider the high end market for such devices...!

'Yes, darling, my dog does have his own cell phone - doesn't yours??'

Later, we can add a camera to the high end model...
