It's like Virtual Pets that are Real!!!

This gadget isn't exactly new, it was developed in Japan and finally came to the US in 2003- but it's still awesome! It's called The Bowlingual. It translates your dog's bark into six different categories that tell you what they're trying to say!Sad, happy, frustrated, on guard, needy and assertive/showing off!

The Bowlingual is pre-programmed with 200 different breeds of dog all listed on the Bowlingual website. But even if your breed isn't listed ( such as a newest trendy cross-breeds) this gadget can still work by entering your dog's size and muzzle shape.

Buyer Beware: It doesn't quite work for puppies...yet.
