Today’s Totally Cool Tech: The GPS Dog Tracking & Locator System by RoamEO – $400 @ RadioFence.com, The Micro I.D. Rescue Collar by PetSafe – $20 @ RadioFence.com & Linux News from DesktopLinux.com

Each RoamEO system consists of a portable, handheld receiver and an ordinary collar that is equipped with a GPS receiver and radio transmitter. Just snap the collar on your dog, turn it on, and RoamEO is operational. The handheld unit can track up to three dogs simultaneously. Of course you will need a collar for each dog.

The PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar isn’t just a collar, it is the ultimate pet protection system with convenient features even today’s best micro-chipping system can’t offer. What it is is a collar with a simple USB flash drive that stores all of your pet’s personalized data tucked away in a weather proof plastic capsule.
