"Ever wonder how your dog is feeling during a run in the park or how your pet is doing while home alone? A smart collar that transmits data to the cloud directly from your pup's body can now tell you.\nInformation technology product manufacturer Fujitsu has developed a special device that can be attached to a dog's collar or harness. From there, the device monitors the number of steps the dog takes, signs of shivering and external temperature. Changes in these numbers, which could point to obesity or diabetes, would also be easier to detect, says Fujitsu.\nOn-the-go pet owners can access the cloud service to see how Scruffy or Sparky is doing. The health monitoring device sends data to an specialized Android app or web service. It's accessible on iOS devices with a web browser. \n\nSEE ALSO: 10 Animals With More Social Media Fans Than Major Media Outlets\nThe contraption is compact enough for your pet to wear at all times, says the company.\nThe service will be available in the latter half of 2012. It will be showcased at the Fujitsu Forum and Tokyo International Forum this week in Japan. \nWhat factors about your pet would you like to track? Tell us in the comments.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
