Cell Phone and Tracker for Dogs

[blut wump]

A company called PetsMobility has come out with PetCell, the first cell phone for dogs. The phone will allow users to call their dogs in case the dog gets away and also includes a GPS tracking device if the dog doesn't respond to the call. In addition, the PetCell will feature GeoFence, which will alert owners whenever their dogs wander outside a prescribed area. Will the PetCell actually prove useful to dog owners or is it just another cheap gimmick?

Cheap gimmick most definately. Wonder if they will be able to have voicemail too?

Since they don't have opposing thimbs....how are they going to call me back?

The little fucker doesn't listen to me anyway.

I would like to see some sort of internal GPS installed in the dogs, through a shot in the skin, a la microchip.
