"Fido's First Cell Phone" - from Wired:

"PetCell, the first cell phone for dogs, is due to hit pet-store shelves.
Hung off Fido's collar, the PetCell is a bone-shaped cell phone that will let dog owners talk to their best friend over a two-way speaker.
Developed by PetsMobility, the PetCell works with standard cellular networks and has its own number. It automatically answers when the owner punches in a code on their telephone keypad that means, "Lassie, come home!" The PetCell will ship in early 2006 and will sell for $350 to $400,... "It's a rugged, waterproof cell phone with GPS, so there's a bunch of other markets for that technology besides the pet industry," "

That's a great idea. Although we'll have to see how effective they are. I'd love to try it out with Mickey... Not sure what she'd think if she heard my voice through the speaker. There must be some kind of training involved. The GPS locator service is pretty cool though... Hmmmm... Technology... Since this canine cell phone will have its own number, anyone could dial it - I wonder if they'll know what to say to cold-calling sollicitors - "Get me off your list NOW. Whoof."
(actually, you shouldn't have that problem, since you need a secret code to make Fido's phone pick up ;-) they thought of everything)
