Puppy Tweets: Woof in 140 characters?!

I had to give a heads up to this brilliantly bizarre blog post on Dogster today: Twitter for Dogs Who Can't Type.

It's all about Puppy Tweets - a Mattel-manufactured sound and movement sensitive tag which transmits a selection of 500 preset tweets from your dog. All you need to do is set up the account and use the USB receiver. The device, clipped to your dog's collar, does the rest.

I'm aware of a good number of tweeting dogs that we follow (and that follow us), but so far I have reason to believe they've been hypnotising persuading their owners to do it for them. I guess this makes it easier for those of the non-opposable thumb persuasion...
