The new PetBot device currently funded through Indiegogo ensures you’re never further from your pup than your phone screen.

Using “petificial intelligence,” the system includes an app available on iPhone and Android, from which you can activate specific sounds, keep an eye on your pal using the live cam, and dispense treats from wherever you are.

The gadget even recognizes your dog’s face and snaps a photo before poppin’ out a treat as a reward. Moments later, you’ll be able to judge his selfie game from the palm of your hand.

Plus, when the mailman comes or a rogue squirrel invades the front lawn, PetBot uses “bark recognition” to alert you when there’s a bit too much howling going on. If necessary, you can play your own voice recording or unique sound to divert your pup’s attention and spare the neighbors the high alert.

Curiosity piqued yet? Getting your paws on the PetBot starter kit will set you back just $149–much less than expected for a device of this nature. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can still contribute any amount to the $80,000 goal to spur production; simply visit the Indiegogo fund page and submit!

We’d all be proud pup parents receiving our dogs’ selfies at work, and there’s nothing more valuable than peace of mind when you can’t be by their side.
