AT&T just announced that they will soon be releasing a new mobile-enabled dog collar that will enable owners to track the whereabouts of their dog at all times - and it even sends subscribers a text message to let them know if their dog gets out of their yard. What a great idea! Now we just need to know how much it will cost... : )

The dog collars will be embedded with wireless SIM leveraged by the award winning geo-mobility company Apisphere. Through Apisphere, location-aware data will be transmitted to AT&T’s nationwide wireless network. As a result, dog owners who register in this new program and also have a wireless handset or personal computer will be able to track the whereabouts of their pet. They can also set parameters that alert them through text, e-mail, video or audio when their dog roams to far from home.
