What We Do
When it comes to other minds, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible. Our tools are designed to enrich the lives of animals we know well, such as dogs and cats, while strengthening the bond they have with us, humans.
We were inspired in the fall of 2019 by speech language pathologist Christina Hunger, who showed the world that tools for communicating with non-verbal children can also work to help us communicate with dogs.
