People are making dogs have a voice. They are doing this because they need to tell someone immediately if someone is hurt or needs help. They are also doing this because it makes searches quicker and more efficient and it warns people about how to handle the bomb. Melody Jackson has made this work by putting her two favorite things together dogs and computer science. The dog has a high tech vest that has sensors built in to tell what the dog is doing. The vest has a GPS in it so when the dog sends an alert the people know where to go. Also the dog can stay with injured person and help them, instead of leaving to go to find help. In the vest there is a tab the dog can pull to call 911 in case something happens to the owner. The dog can also help their owner if they have a handicap. They can do this by alerting other people to help the person. These dogs can help save lives. Those were some ways the dog vest is helping people.
I chose this story because I love dogs and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about how they can help people in need. It was very interesting to learn about how the dogs take emergencies and get help by themselves with a tech vest.

This is great! If we can figure out a complete way to let dogs communicate, who knows what we will learn!
