Vest turns a dog into a 4-legged Internet


A student at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design named Laura Boffi invented this idea for a vest to be worn by messenger dogs. The dog would be trained to find people (during a disaster, in the mountains, whatever) and sit in front of them so they can type their name and record a voice message ("Send brandy next time!"). A GPS device records the location. The dogs then return to where they started so rescuers get the message.
