Wow for all of us with lost dogs...even the $250 per month would be better than not knowing what happened to our missing pups

I think it's a fantastic idea, but who can afford $250 a month, especially those with more than one pet?

There are a couple of others that have been on the market for quite a while

There is one from PetSafe

and one from Garmin (obviously designed for hunters but would sure work for me!)

Now, if only there were one that would guide you pet home!
