Pet lovers sure wish they could talk to their pets like they do with the other humans. Well, if your pet is a god this gadget can help you. The BowLingual Voice, as it is called, is the gadget that can tell what your dog is trying to tell you.

Developed by TakaraTomy, this device can recognize 100 different types of barks of the dogs. The device also has a small LCD display to translate the barks into words. Too bad that the device is only available in Japanese language. But with a good response from Japanese dog lovers, we are pretty sure that the device would be available in other languages soon.

BowLingual will be available in three different colors this August at a price of $220.
