Default What will they think of next?

By WALTER S. MOSSBERG

One of the greatest attributes of man's best friend is that he never
talks back -- at least not in human language. But soon, a new gadget
might allow your dog to give you just as much lip as your teenage
daughter.

Bow-Lingual, a digital device that "translates" your dog's barks into
English phrases, will bound into U.S. stores Aug. 15. It claims to be
able to finally tell you what your pooch really means by all that
barking. We've been putting it to the test with real dogs -- with
decidedly mixed results.

The device was created by Takara, a Japanese toy company that has sold
250,000 units in Japan. Though the product was created by a toy
company, its $120 price tag is nothing to fool around with. But after
Americans spent $29.5 billion on their pets last year alone, according
to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, Takara may
have some takers, especially among the most fervent dog lovers.

"Blah blah Rover blah blah Rover blah blah..." (not the actual
dogname, which I can't remember...)
