Can your dog tell everyone that he’s taken a walk, gone to the dog park, eaten a meal of kibble, and is now relaxing on his doggie bed? In under 140 characters? He can now! Mattel has introduced Puppy Tweets, a fun gadget for tech-savvy dogs. Ok, your dog doesn’t have to be tech-savvy, and he doesn’t need to fit his Tweets into 140 characters or less. Mattel takes care of all of that for him because, after all, “tweets are the new barks.”
So what is Puppy Tweets? Do you have to continually update your Tweets to clue your followers in on what the pup is up to? Not at all; in fact, your pet actually sends the tweets with the Puppy Tweets tag, which affixes to your dog’s collar (also included are USB dongle and battery – and yes, you can get them to suit your dog’s fashion senses. They’re available in pink and blue). Every time your pet makes a move or barks, the Tweets tag sends a wireless signal to your computer, which results in a Twitter feed for you.
There are over 500 phrases pre-programmed into Puppy Tweets. If your dog is barking, for instance, his tweet may read, ““I bark because I miss you. There I said it. Now hurry home.” Don’t be surprised if he asks you to pick up some Milk Bones – or a fabulous Christian Audigier hoodie - on your way home.
If you love Twitter, you can have a little fun and connect with your pet while you’re away from home.
