A 14 year old girl from Spokane,WA was worried about her dog when the family was out. The dog is a Golden Retriever,a breed known to suffer separation anxiety. Their anxiety can manifest in many ways,the most common one being destructive behavior. This young girl thought what if she could have a video chat with her dog and give her treats remotely? Would that ease the dog's anxiety and solve the problem? She got busy and built a prototype and presented it at a recent GeekWire Summit garnering enough interest to have software and design pros help her come up with the finished product. She can now talk to her dog through her ICPooch and give the animal treats for being a good dog while the family is out. The product is available online for $129 and in some retail locations.
