Are you feeling guilty for leaving your dog behind when you leave the house for work? Now, there’s something that can ease your guilt as well as your pooch’s loneliness. PulsePet has developed GoBone, a chewy, app-controlled, smartbone that fills your pet with all day entertainment.
Using algorithms, this interactive autonomous toy synthesizes with your pup’s behavior in order to keep your canine friend running and playing until your return home. It comes with a compatible app with which you can control the device when you’re in office.

You can play GoBone Fetch which is similar to Nintendo Wii Bowling; difference is you launch the GoBone for your dog to fetch instead of launching a virtual bowling ball. Also, you can put some treats inside the wheel and hide the device and lay hide and seek with your dog. GoBone will stay calm until it detects your pup has found it, and then it wakes up to play.
The device run by a rechargeable battery that lasts eight hours in autonomous mode, long enough for you to spend the time at office. Colors and attachments can be customized by your choice as they’re introduced. The company is also collaborating with Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center to donate more than $1,000 worth of GoBones to the shelter.
It looks like the hard work has paid off. The company launched a campaign on Kickstarter with a goal of $60,000. It has already been surpassed with a total of $130,632 in pledges from 790 backers, and still has 12 days to go. By paying $149, you will receive one GoBone and save $80 off the final retail price. There is a possibility that the shipment will start in December
