Firm Finds Way to Keep Lost Dogs on Leash: “Japan’s largest home and office security provider Secom Co Ltd thinks it can offer the paranoid pet owner a little peace of mind.

Secom said Monday it plans to unleash a new service later this month to track missing dogs, using satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS) and mobile phone networks… The technology used by Secom is an extension of a similar service offered since April 2001 for tracking young children, the elderly and missing automobiles.” Yahoo!
