Pooch Phones?

We walked in our park this morning. The weather brought out parents, kids and dog owners. It was fun to observe the interaction of breeds (dogs not kids).

One owner had his dog on a lead and his eyes on his smart phone. I don't know who was leading who. But it did give me an idea.

How long will it take for someone to develop smart phones for smart dogs? The phone could fit on his collar just below eye level. Pooch could use his or her nose to select the desired icon. Before you know it all sorts of yapps will be available.

Need a hydrant? Poke the hydrant icon and the nearest relief point will be displayed. Hungry? Punch the biscuit icon and it signals your owner to feed you (I can see the pop-up ads now). Need some affection? Lick the heart icon and your owner will scratch you behind the ears. Get it?

The way pet owners dote on their doggies I have to believe some genius will develop this device and the smart money will flock to it. I can see the Bowser Bubble now.

As for cats, who walks a cat? They're on their own.
