I thought this might have been a joke at first but no - dogs will soon be able to call their owners!

A team of researchers from Scotland and Finland have invented a new gadget that allows pets to call their owners.

Nicknamed the DogPhone, the gadget is a soft ball toy which sends a signal to the owner's laptop, launching a video call, when their pet moves the ball.

Let the puns commence....

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

I'm howling with laughter.

This is totally pawesome.

Anything is paw-sible when you have a dog.

Not sure I'll get 1 for my dog but you never know.

Why would service animals want to call their owners? It's the other way around.

I think Cat People would be more interested in this and not so much for dog owners. Cat People are crazy about their cats and the antics. How many cat videos do you see about cats and their antics compared to dog videos?

I'm definitely not getting one for my dogs. It'd be a non stop barrage of:

"Are we going out yet? Is it walkies yet? Is it dinnertime yet? Are we going now? Scratch my tummy. Are we going now? Is it nearly dinnertime? Are we ....... "

GAHHHHH! No - shut up.

I'm not interested and neither is my dog. I put toys in his crate and he tosses them out. I give him a toy and he hides it. I bought a vibrating toy that runs on batteries. I put it on the floor, vibrating, he ran the other way.

One of my border collies does suffer anxienty and does not like it when I go to work.

Sadly, she is only food motivated. Toys and balls are not her thing.

If my old pair were still around, I would not be able to work, as they would be calling me all day!

I'm sure there's some dogs who can benefit from this. Perhaps ones that can be shown dog treats on camera, and let the dog pick which one they want when the owner comes home.
