My mom found a new app that helps people find their Boones when they get lost. It's called
Finding Rover and it's free. Fun fact: the word
finding starts to look funny when you look at it a lot.
It uses facial recognition software for dogs and you make a profile for every Boone in your family, including their name, age, breed, and a picture. If you lose your Boone, you can send a notification to other users. If you find a lost Boone, you scan his face and see if he has a profile; if he has a profile, it can connect you to his people.
Here's my profile pic: it's like a facebook, for Boones.
The big catch is, the more people who use it (and dogs with profiles) the better it works. So I'm asking everyone with a puppy at home to download the app (for iPhone and Android or on the web) and register your best friend: your Boone.
Lots of shelters, vets, and rescues plus loads of individuals (like my mom!) use this program, but it can only help you if your Boone is registered. If your buddy gets lost, you'll wish you had.
