Idea for pet to get help in an emergency

"How about an emergency box that sits on the floor where a dog could press the button and summon help?  This could be especially helpful for handicapped or elderly people with a specially trained dog.  Maybe the box could have three large buttons - FIRE, POLICE, and AMBULANCE that would connect to 911 emergency telephone numbers or Internet connection.  The 911 operators could affirm the emergency by background sounds - dog barking and pressing same button consistently.  This concept would also work when the home occupants were not home and an emergency developed.
In addition to perhaps being an opportunity for a new device, this concept could open up a new service of training animals to use this new device.  There are pushbutton devices for people to use in summoning help but none for animals.
Possible Start Building Blocks –
  • Existing concepts for automatic telephone dialers, door bells/pushbuttons, large number telephones, etc.

  • USPTO Class/Subclasses for "How-To" ideas – 379/37, 446/142
