Tailways, a calming harness for dogs left alone

Why it surfaced

The project is unusually concrete: its founder says they are hand-building ten units for ten dogs, fitting the harnesses in person, and showing prototype data rather than polished renders. The promise—that a phone could tell you Luna is anxious two hundred miles away, then start a heartbeat-like rhythm—is either an intriguing piece of canine technology or a very early experiment worth watching.

Tailways is an experimental dog harness that claims to sense five emotional states and trigger a calming rhythm when anxiety appears.
