Dutch football star Leroy Fer has become a laughing stock among his team-mates after buying his girlfriend a pet horse – only to find out she can’t keep it as she lives in a block of flats...
Fujitsu has launched a new device for dog owners wanting to keep a check on their pet's health.
The device, called the Wandant, can be attached to the dog's collar, and it counts how many steps the animal takes during its outing.
It also tracks the dog's temperature, how much it eats, its weight and stool condition. It contains three accelerometers, and records data every 10 minutes and even tracks the dog's stress level.
The name Wandant has been derived from Japanese words Wan and Dant, which mean woof and pendant respectively.
The data recorded can be stored locally for up to 14 days or uploaded to an NFC-equipped Android device. It can also be presented graphically on a custom website, so that it makes it easy for anyone to understand the dog's activities.
According to Fujitsu, the device will enable communication between pets and their owners so that they can track all the health information regarding the pet's health.
The Wandant is currently available on Amazon Japan.
