A New App Is Using Dogs’ Nose Prints To Help Identify And Reunite Lost Pups With Owners
The app was only launched about eight weeks ago, but already has more than 2,000 subscribers and counting.
There’s a new app called Smart Snout that can track missing dogs by treating their nose as one would a fingerprint.
It’s thought that every dog’s nose has a pattern that, when coupled with the shape of its nostril openings, it’s distinctive enough to identify it.
The app is free to download but has a cost annually if you want to register your dog’s details. Once your pup’s information is in the app, if the animal were to be lost or stolen and then recovered, the finder could simply scan the animal’s snout. Then, the owner and the finder would be alerted to the dog’s identity so the dog could get home safely.
