Mobile phones for dogs

A new mobile phone has been specially developed - for dogs.



The bone-shaped device fits on the collar and will go on sale later this year, reports the Mirror.



Top-of-the-range versions will incorporate a camera to show absent owners what their pets are up to.



It they are seen to be misbehaving, the owner can dial a number and shout commands such as: "Bad dog".



Cameron Robb, director of PetsMobility and inventor of the PetsCell phone, said it could also be used to find lost dogs.



He is due to sign a multi-million pound contract to produce them.



Beverley Cuddy, editor of Dogs Today, said: "I think there's a market. People already talk to their dogs on the phone."

My dog doesn't listen to my commands when I am home. I don't think it would change if I yell through her collar. If it had a built in remote control squirt gun...THAT would be something.

Cass, seeing the picture of your profile, i thought you could have good chances of winning the Nokia see new contest, which as about taking a picture with a camera phone and then send it to them and you could end up having a day spent with a profi photographer and experience professional photography. I love your the kitten.
