I saw an ad for a device that allows your dog to talk to you. Bow Lingual, a Japanese invention, entered the American market a couple of weeks ago. Named " The Dog Translator," it sold more than 250,000 units before heading here. And don’t forget that it was sold at the price of $ 120 each.
It’s quite simple, really. A radio microphone attaches to your dog’ s collar, and a handheld receiver "translates" barks into 200 different phrases. The device determines your dog’s emotion at the moment: happy, sad, frustrated, on-guard, assertive and needy. (In case you have a dog that barks only in Japanese or Korean, it comes with those translations, too.)
As interesting as this new device is—again, I’ m kicking myself here—any dog owner worth his Milk-Bones knows this might not be all that necessary a purchase. Our dog, Murphy, for instance, has never had any problem whatsoever communicating with us. Not once in 13 years. Odd as it seems, we can figure out quite quickly what’ s on her mind. Just the cock of her head will often do it. Translation: " Surely you’ re taking me with you." Sometimes it’ s a solitary bark at the kitchen door after dinner. Translation: " You forgot my treat, Buster!" And sometimes it’s 100 barks
in a row
. Translation: "The mailman is here! The mailman is here! Can’t you hear him attacking our house?"
But I think I witnessed the ultimate dog communication technique years ago. It was a neighbor’ s dog. I can’t remember the breed or name. All I remember is how bright she was. She had no need for Bow Lingual. Whenever frustrated with her family, which appeared to be quite often, she would stroll into the living room, turn her back to them and sit directly in front of the TV they were watching. And pee. No translation needed. And you need not be smart or rich to figure that out.
The author seems to think that "The Dog Translator" is______.
