Funny idea but totally stupid, dogs communicate much more with their body language and their companions should be able to read that without a silly device.!

Did't we used to just listen to the dog with our ears and look at the dog with our eyes and look at the context of the occasion? maybe we need to get away from gadgets just a little eh?

  gadget which analyses the acoustics of a dog's bark and translates the 
  findings into human words.
</p> <P>
The gadget focuses on the detection of six emotions – including sadness, joy 
  and frustration – alongside a recorded repertoire of spoken phrases such as "play 
  with me".

  dog is apparently trying to say.

  intentions as well as appearing on the screen of the wireless hand-held 
  unit. A new answering machine function can also record the dog's expressions 
  of desire when owners are absent.
