As it turns out, that doggie translating collar is very much real and here's a video. Dubbed the Bowlingual Voice Translator, the dog collar from Takara Tomy claims that it can translate the thoughts of Fido into a language that we (assuming you speak Japanese) can understand :-) Attaching the plastic toy to your dog, you will be able to hear what he is thinking each time he lets out a bark. Technology is amazing, isn't it? ;-)
