INNOVATION CHALLENGE PROJECT

HAPPY TRAILS

BY Alec Macheroux-Keedle

The dog tracker is a very useful device that allows you to attach it to your dog and connect its GPS location to your phone. The tracker will be attached in a very safe and unharmful manner, it will be put on using double-sided medical tape to prevent the dog from getting irritated and itchy. This tracker allows the dog to move around freely in a way they would quickly get used to. The tracker will be mainly used on wild dogs such as the local Singapore Special. This tracker will be attached to the dog once it has been caught (more information down the bottom). After attachment, the tracker will tell you exactly where they go. This would tell the vets or animal welfare C.A.S (Causes for Animals) where they live and what their main day/night pattern is. This could tell the user where they eat, how they hunt and etc etc. this will be useful in a way to catch puppies and neuter them. If you don’t neuter them they will keep breeding and their puppies will breed and after a long time, their population would have grown by a lot. We don’t want them to keep breeding firstly because the people that live near them don’t like their barking so they tell the government to go and trap them and put them to sleep (which we don’t want). Secondly, Singapore keeps on expanding with new roads and condos, for which they need to then tear down the dog’s home. Then the dogs will have to travel for a long time and go through a lot of fights because they are passing another packs territory. This tracker is small, tough, waterproof and able to record for around 5 days.
