What it is:
A GPS tracking device that keeps constant track of your pets.
Why we love it:
Many of us suffered the childhood (or adulthood) heartbreak of a lost pet. No matter how much you try to protect them, pets will sometimes stray. Until recently, the best you could hope for was that they'd come back, or someone would find them and call the number on their collar. Not nearly enough protection for those little furry friends who become a part of the family. Fortunately, GPS and cellular technology have advanced to a degree where dedicated pet owners can truly keep track of their four-legged companions. The Global Pet Finder is the high-tech answer to dog tags, it keeps constant track of Fido's movements, and transmits them to you via your cellphone or PDA. You can even set boundaries for your pet's movements, and the collar will send you a continuous alert when he ranges outside of them. The unit notifies you when its batteries are running low, keeps track of the temperature and weather conditions where Fido is, and teaches him how to speak five different languages (ok, that last one, we were kidding). Give a pet lover a gift without compare, the knowledge that they'll never lose their little friend again.
