A former police officer is using a heat-seeking drone to track down missing dogs. So far, he’s reunited 42 dogs with their families. Here’s an adorable clip of a pup lost in the snow. His little tail wags like crazy when he sees his owner. I’m so excited that I’m getting a new puppy. Meet Bella.

How to geofence your dog
Worried about your dog running off? There’s a simple tech solution that could give you peace of mind. I’ll explain how it works.
🧙♂️ AI pics on WhatsApp: You can now generate images with ChatGPT right inside your chats. Just save 1-800-ChatGPT (aka 1-800-242-8478) to your contacts, then open WhatsApp and say “Hi.” After the bot replies, try something like “Create a picture of a wizard eating a hot dog.” Wait a few seconds, and boom, it’ll pop up.
$20,000
What some folks are dropping on hand-painted portraits. In an age where AI can remix your face in 0.5 seconds, more Americans are actually paying real humans to immortalize them the analog way. It’s slower, pricier and way more intimate. Also, no filters, just your raw, regal essence (and maybe your dog).
🐕 Never miss walk time again: Say, “Alexa, remind me to walk the dog at 6 p.m. every day.” No more side eye from the pup. Once you’re back in the habit, just say, “Alexa, cancel my 6 p.m. dog walking reminder.” FYI: The latest Echo Dot is 36% off. Such a deal!
