A Man's Best Friend

For all dog lovers and owners there is a gadget that has been launched in the market. Bowlingual, a translator gadget released by Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy, can turn barks into words. You may indeed find out what your dog thinks of you!!

Tomy says there is a scientifically developed system that recognises the canine vocalisations. Your dog might be telling you that he likes you, he is happy or just that he does not want to eat the **##** food that you serve him every day. Now, how does that make him different from anyone else in the house?



I do not own a dog, but according to me what makes a dog a perfect companion is his inability to converse and express his opinion. I'd rather have him curl up at my feet or wag its tail and let me interpret his actions.

Fortunately, the Bowlingual translation is in Japanese and you may need another translator to understand what your dog is actually trying to tell you. So, it may not be economical to invest in one right now.

And if at some point they can translate the barks to a written word, there may be a situation when the old adage 'On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog' made popular by this Pete Steiner cartoon, may indeed come true -





P.S: I completed two years of blogging on Sepember 10.

  1. Oh you are hilarious! Good post.If we finally translated what my dear Radar said we would...(we meaning my 'world')....we would all be dissapointed for I am SURE that he is not thinking those things I say he is...at least not ALL the time! Grin. He does 'endure' me as much as he can....but that is what love is and that is what dogs do, n'est pas? Ha ha...bowlingual. So very funny. Well, sometimes I sure wish I knew what they were thinking. But I think as far as language goes....if dogs are actually 'speaking'....cat's are postulating on theoretical philosophies and science...for a look into their eyes shows they are extremely smart. Dogs are more 'pant pant pant...I love you...pant pant pant....cookie please.....pant pant pant....see me chase my tail.." etc.

    Happy Sunday...at least on my side of the world

  6. Radha, congratulations on your 2nd Blog Anniversary!

    Nice post! I'm with you- I would rather that dogs didn't talk. They manage to convey their feelings quite well without talking.:)

  8. 'Bowlingual', the word is nice to read! I would rather translate in my own way...at least he thinks I am a nice person and love me whole heartedly! I had a dog, long back and we still miss him!

    ' the Bowlingual translation is in Japanese and you may need another translator to understand what your dog is actually trying to tell you. So, it may not be economical to invest in one right now.' This is hilarious!

    Nice to know you, Radha and congratulation for the anniversary!

  10. LOL. What next? Pigs flying. My son watches this show on PBS called Martha Speaks, about a dog who drinks alphabet soup and starts talking. Let me tell you, she talks, a lot. Like three people combined.
    Congratulations on completing 2 years.
