GPS systems are all the rage for those of us who need a little help getting from place to place and now your pooch can jump on the technology bandwagon. Now your mobile phone can be a tracking device with the service from PAW Spotlight. Your dog wears a small device which attaches to his collar, and if exits one of the zones you have designated, a text message is sent to your phone. Live-updating turn-by-turn directions for finding fido will then be available on your phone. You can also call AKC CAR (American Kennel Club Canine Recovery System), a 24/7 recovery service that has teamed with PAW.
The technology and service aren’t exactly free – a $250 initial cost plus $20/month – but can you put a price on finding your beloved four-legged friend?
