Make your own Dug the Dog from Up, with more id

scaledup-char-poster-dug-dog-medsizeSo I saw Up yesterday with the boy and I wondered if anyone had invented a collar that can allow dogs to communicate a bit more clearly a la Dug the Dog in the movie. If you haven’t seen it, one of the characters has created a collar that reads a dog’s thoughts (“Squirrel!”) and plays them out loud. Hilarity ensues.

So I’m looking around and discover that yes, such a thing exists, but it’s definitely a bit less high-tech than I thought. I introduce to you the X-Rated Hound Bytes Talking Dog Collar. Gah.

Are you a dog lover? Here is a gadget that will give you hours of fun, Hound Bytes Talking Dog Collar; this is the worlds first talking dog collar.

You can take your dog for a walk and be the envy of your friends, with the
RC control you can make your dog use funny phrases such as:

* It’s a dog eat dog world, so eat me!
* Tricks! You wanna see tricks? Get yourself a hooker!
* Woof, woof, I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced

It’s only $12.99 so you won’t have to spend much to lose your dignity.
