We found this story on Yahoo about service animals remarkable. (just click the image below to view the video)

Last year we told you about a new product called Zoombak – a GPS locater for your dog, which we thought was pretty ingenius.

zoombak3Interestingly, almost exactly one year later MSNBC has reported on the same item. They have an evaluation from a family who loves it for their three year old pup and is considering it for their soon-to-be-teenage daughter. They also included an evaluation from a therapist who says, “she’s concerned that parents who use such a device for their children are taking the easy way out.”

Hence the title of the article, GPS: Good For Pets, Questionable for Kids

The Zoombak costs about $200 plus a $15 monthly monitoring fee.

We’re just proud that we scooped MSNBC by a whole year!
