Someone should make an iphone app for lost dogs... with a teensie tiny gps unit you can attach to the collar. When you lose your dog on a hike, pull out your iphone and voila. Rover is in the parking lot at the head of the trail waiting for you.

Dogs shouldn't be running loose in the woods. That's very inconsiderate of of other hikers who might not want to deal with your dog. It's also inconsiderate of wildlife; loose dogs will run deer and kill them.
Someone should make a collar for dog owners that shocks them when the dog gets too far away.

But of course at least North Korea is probably too poor to afford it!
