Will ‘smart vests’ take stray dogs from zeroes to heroes?

These pups have been chosen to test run a prototype ‘smart vest’ which could turn stray dogs into heroes by spotting potentially unfriendly strangers and other dangers within a community. Stray dogs in Thailand are viewed as nuisances  but a South Korean-based advertising agency Cheil (Thailand) hopes the ‘smart vest’ wearing canines will inspire Thais to view street dogs more positively.


The vest contains a hidden camera that sends a live streaming video of what the dog saw in front of them to a central location.
