Dogs can listen to and understand their owners,

To-infinitive

The Bow-Lingual Dog Translator may be able to help.

The Bow-Lingual is a small device with a microphone.

You can attach the microphone to your dog’s collar.

When your dog barks, the Bow-Lingual records the sound.

Then it translates the sound into six emotions:

happy, sad, watchful, frustrated, needy, and confident.

After it translates the sound into an emotion,

it matches the emotion with common phrases   which fit your dog’s emotional state.

These include “This bone is delicious,”

“I feel great,” and “Let’s go,” etc.

This device helps everyone understand dogs.

Understanding dogs’ language is a great help in knowing what is wrong with a   dog if he has a health problem, and also in dog training.

With the help of the Bow-Lingual Translator,

Dr. Dolittle’s dream of talking with animals is no longer a fantasy.

As long as there is a need for pet-owner communication,

there will probably be more new inventions.

that soon there may be one for cats, too.

What kind of invention do you think will be in need? Why?
