I can communicate with my dog just fine. I don\'t need a 100 dollar gadget.. just a 50cent rolled up newspaper. :evil:
And I dunno.. hell it might be a good idea with a bit of tweaking. We\'re teaching monkeys how to use sign language, Chimps how to type on message forums, talking with parrots, re-arranging recorded vocalizations to communicate with whales, and useing shapes to talk with Dolphins.. why not dogs too? I mean, it HAS already been proven that many dogs are very intelligent (for being dogs) and that the tones, pitches, and sustains of their howls/barks/whines is a form of communication with other dogs.
I probably wouldn\'t get one for my dog tho. I wouldn\'t wanna talk to a human who eats his own poop, licks his butt, and humps other males.. why would I want to talk to an animal that does the same? What stimulating conversation would he have? "Geeze Jim, your crotch smells GREAT!! Mind if just hump your leg for bit?" ??!?
