An internet connected ball could be paving the way for stay-at-home [aka "separation anxiety"] dogs to keep in touch with their owners.
If you haven't laughed by now, don't bother with the TL&DR below!

The DogPhone device has been developed by the University of Glasgow and Aalto University in Finland.
When shaken in a certain way the ball can start up a video call and has been pioneered by animal-computer interaction researcher Dr Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas and her Labrador Zack.
Dr Hirskyj-Douglas said: "What I wanted to do with DogPhone was find a way to turn Zack from a ‘usee’ of technology, where he has no choice or control over how he interacts with devices, into a ‘user’, where he could make active decisions about when, where, and how he placed a call.”
It is hoped the research could go some way to addressing separation anxiety in dogs.
Dr Hirskyj-Douglas said that it was clear that on some occasions Zack displayed some of the behaviours he showed when they were together.

Next you'll say dogs would make ASR accounts and start arguing about the audibility of ultrasonics.

You'll never get the subjectivist dogs to sit still for double-blind testing...I can't even get mine to stop barking

I think Dr.Husky - Douglas might be barking up the wrong tree or just barking mad!
