Games console for dogs invented

[Jazzy]

A £165 games console for dogs has been invented to keep pets amused when their owners are away.

CleverPet has three sensitive touch pads, which light up interactively when touched by a dog's nose or paw.

When hit in the right order, they release food for the pet - and make the next game slightly more complex.

The owner can log on to a special app to see exactly how much their dog has played.

CleverPet is the work of San Diego-based scientists and enterpreneurs Dan Knudsen and Leo Trottier.

"The CleverPet completely transforms your pet's experience of being home alone," they say.

"It's a device that feeds your dog while she engages with it and learns. And we even make it easy for you keep track of when your pet plays and eats."

What do you think about this game console?

It's an interesting concept but I would never use one. My dogs are both on a feeding schedule. If this console dispenses food, it would throw their schedule off. It's important for me to keep them on their schedule because my little boy Louie gets thyroid medicine. The 1/2 pill per feeding needs to be hidden in his food. My little girl Lexie is on a special lite dog food.

Again, it's interesting but it's just not for me.

I suppose some elaboration is order. I think it sounds like a fun-little device, granted, the cost makes it seem silly.

Huh, well why not I suppose.
Should be better than your dog dying from boredom.
