We were very happy to be featured in the Wall Street Journal article “The Dumb, Delightful World of Pet Tech.” We’re grateful to Ms. Stern for taking the time to work with the CleverPet Hub. And we’re especially grateful to her dog, Browser (perhaps the perfect name for a tech columnist’s dog!), and her neighbor’s Hub-loving dog Archie, for giving the Hub a go.

As their headline makes clear, the article is not your average product review and these are not your average tech products. Indeed, the clear implication is that there is something inherently unserious about building technology for other species. But as former scientists who spent extended careers studying brains and behavior, we beg to differ.
