you buy the receiver and the collar and they work sorta like homing beacons to tell you wear your dog is if it is within the distance the device can read.
Why has someone not shrunk this down so it can be used every day for all domestic dogs?
I don't know a single pet owner that would not buy one if it was not so bulky.
or is there something like this out on the market and i did not find it? |
Great thread Miss Lissa! You have a great point.
I am reluctant to tell you what seeing your picture instantly brought to my mind..... I live in Florida -- Gator land. We had a particularly dangerous alligator that was attacking and making off with MANY dogs in the area. It finally took one that was wearing a collar just like that one. They had a picture of it in the paper after they were able to track the gator by the collar that it had swallowed. I know that is such a morbid story but at least they were able to euthanize the gator and put an end to its dog-napping. They attributed MANY dog disappearances to this one gator, so the collar put an end to his rampage.
