Amazing! I've also been offered crystals you charge by plugging into the mains.

Incredible what you can get nowadays

I was even more impressed that police horses are now being trained to detect drugs: Police Dogs and Horses join forces to sniff out drug crime - Avon and Somerset Police

It makes perfect sense, as sniffer dogs often struggle to detect drugs in high places such as trees, bird houses, and under hats. Just don't confuse them with drug mules.

Nice idea...but not a cat in hells chance would I use one, a £500 + phone strapped to the side of a dog...no chance. You may as well leave the phone on top of a wall with a note saying...free to a good home on it.

But then I see what day it is...

Talking of apps for dog-owners: there’s a really useful app I’ve been using called “Petlas” (as in Atlas for Pets) which is really easy to use and shows dog-friendly places in various categories (pubs/restaurants, cafes, hotel, holiday cottages, bar, campsite, park, beach, vets, pet services, pet supplies, pet boarding, other pet-friendly venue). It works by users adding venues they find that are pet-friendly and allows people to add comments if they wish or report a problem (eg. listing has changed ownership and is no longer dog-friendly).
I’m on a mission to add every dog-friendly place I go too.
There are a few gaps obviously, in some areas, as it relies on users to add locations, but I think it’s an extremely good app.
I’ve got “DoggiePubs” but I don’t find this as useful as 1) it’s only for pubs, and 2) the app-managers insist on a lot of detail about the pub you submit before they will publish it, whereas with Petlas it gets submitted straight away. I try to add a lot of detail on my submissions, but if i haven’t got time to then it’s better to add it with not much detail- at least it’s there then for other dog-owners in the future.
Just thought I’d share about it as it’s a great app and will be even better once word spreads about it.

Thank you, that sounds really useful.
