Global Pet Finder

Via MobHappy. GlobalPetFinder is a GPS collar that enables you to track your missing dog via cell phone, PDA or computer. The moment Fido trots across the invisible line, a text message pops up on your cell phone.

Varied method of tagging and tracking animals have been used over the years in the while and in farms, like Micro-GPS to track pigeons and study their navigation or GPS Tracking of Cattle on Pasture. It is interesting to notice the slow intrusion of technology into pets’ daily life. We are now used to tag them with micro-ships and track them. There is now the technological potential to transform pets into blogjects and make them belong to the Internet of Things. Your pet would have the ability to talk about its day when you return home.

I couldn’t help posting it also on the new Petistic, a collective blog about user-centered pet gear.
