Dog and Bone


Did anyone spot the article in the Sunday Times about PetsCell, the mobile phone for your dog? Apparently, now that all the humans have phones the doggies are feeling left out.

Having experienced how useless phones are for keeping track of children, I really can't imagine that PetsCell will be much better for keeping tabs on our canine friends. I suppose one good thing is that the dog will have more difficulty switching the phone off when he doesn'’t want to be found!

Whether there will be the problem of phone theft I don't know, but I'm sure it will be only a matter of time before a phone-toting dog develops cancer, and the owner tries to sue the manufacturer of the PetsCell.
