Abstract

This paper discusses the rise of technology and its use to enhance the lives of animals. As the bond between humans and domesticated dogs grows in importance in today's society, the need to stay connected to pets from a distant location has peaked inquiries into how technology can be used to enhance that bond. While it is not clear how different types of technology mediated interaction affects the human - dog bond, recent work between a trainer and his canine displayed the ability of a canine to correctly respond to verbal cues given through video chat. The steps to achieve this will be explored, and the benefits of such an interaction will be discussed.
