A harness called Inupathy (“inu” means dog in Japanese), has been invented by biologist Joji Yamaguchi. It measures the dog’s heart rate and uses an algorithm to indicate different moods through a colored LED light. Red means excited or anxious, blue for relaxed, white for focused and rainbow for happy.

Inupathy is expected to be available in December, says JoAnna Lou. I see how the harness can tell if your dog is excited or calm, based on heart rate, measuring happiness seems more subjective. Ms. Lou said, ‘Inupathy certainly sounds entertaining, but I think there are much better ways to understand your dog.’
