"PetsCELL PetsMobility is selling a mobile phone designed specifically for dogs. It’s made to be worn on the animal’s collar so of course it doesn’t have any buttons for dialing but at the same time is still pretty functional. You can call your dog at anytime to assure them that even though you’ve abandoned them for several hours they’re still a good boy or girl. Or more likely you can warn them to get off the furniture. Secondly the latest version of the PetsCELL phone is GPS equipped which means if your companion goes missing you’ll be able to track their exact location through software on your PC. Thirdly the GPS capabilities also allow you to setup a virtual geo-fence boundary around your property and the collar will automatically alert you when the dog has stepped outside of that area."

So many folks travel with their pets or "other children", that it is a very relevant subject for any of us working in the tourism industry. It's titled "Dogs Welcome"

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a midwest town that he planned to visit on his vacation.

He wrote: "I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well-behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And, I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.

Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my motel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here too!"

The hotel owner was a very wise man.
