When an owner loves his pet, there's no such thing as too much trouble. Julian thought it was a brilliant idea. He had to work longer hours now, start-ups have no schedules, really. Julian's poor dog will be so lonely for hours. This will help both stay totally connected all day, or anytime day or night. Sometimes, technology really was a godsend, and it's all on the app. By phone, Julian is with his dog. Installation was a snap. Four-inch video box with mic, on the side of the dog's little patio house. Then, quick download, set up the app, keep the volume setting low for the neighbors. Everything done, Julian was eager to try out his great idea, taking a quick break, strolling down the noisy office building corridor. He opened the app's screen on his phone which also blinked on the patio home screen. Everything worked well, and there he was, Julian's beagle boy, asleep on his beloved chair pillow.  "Hey boy, here. Look over here! It's me!"  His dog startled awake as if shaken by earthquake, all at once sitting up, confused, head turning about at the sound of his favorite voice. The dog stared at the patio door . "No, look over here, boy. Look at the screen!" The hapless hound jerked around behind him, almost in a frenzy, chasing the sound like an elusive tail. Finally, the upset pet slinked away into a shadowed corner, just fearfully uncertain. Julian couldn't see the dog now, and the app's moveable lens was limited. He was certain that, with a little tweeking, he'll make his great idea work just fine. There's no such thing as too much trouble, when an owner loves his pet.
