Bowlingual Discovers that Every Dog Has an Inner Japanese Woman

What is your dog trying to say when he's barking at bicyclists riding by your window? If only we spoke Japanese, we'd know.

Back in 2002, TakaraTomy released a device called the Bowlingual, which claimed to translate a dog's barking into human dialect you could read from a screen. Now, 7 years later, the company has updated Bowlingual to include vocalization—you know, like a text-to-speech GPS but for an animal discussing the merits of eating one's own feces.
