Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.
Bow-Lingual's Japanese inventors spent much time and money-analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire.
Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog's collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.
Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US $ 120 to read a dog's mind?” they ask.
But those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the par, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.”
Bow-Lingual is riot yet available in Chinese. So you'd better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!
