Bark, bark

The AP says Korea's second largest wireless carrier, Korean Telecom Freetel, will let dogs communicate with their master through cell phones. Who would have thunk? The AP relates:

"The users must first connect to Internet with their cell phones, and then register information of their dogs such as the breed and age. The service will then record the dog's bark."

"The owner will receive text messages telling them how their pet is feeling, such as 'I am happy' or "I am frustrated.'"

"The service, which will begin on Friday, will also translate basic messages into dog sounds. The service will cost about one dollar."
