Ltd. is far more fetching. The firm has developed a service that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to locate wayward Weimaraners or any other lost pooch that's wearing a special sensor. Said sensor is a tiny GPS terminal that a dog can wear on its back or around its neck. If your dog disappears, you can get on Secom's Web site, type in a username and password and, voila, the service tells you where Fido is, within 164 feet.
