You may think you've got just about everything for your pet -- from brand-name waterproofs and jewelry to its weekly trips to a pet cafe and yoga classes. Now, though, there's a new out-of-this-world accessory for the pet owner with everything: the no-hiding-place collar.
The gadget, which can be fitted round a pet's neck, features a global-positioning system that will tell you straightaway just where to go to find your missing pooch or kitty -- or even a roaming rabbit, according to the maker, Secom Co.
Secom, a Tokyo-based security company, began marketing its positioning service, called Koko Secom, two years ago to counter car theft and kidnappings. So far, it has sold some 170,000 units around the country.
