Every Dog Has His Say

Kimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say.Whenever she put on
makeup,it would pull at her sleeve._______(1)When the dog barks,she glances
at a small electronic gadget（装置）.The following " human " translation appears on its
screen:"Please take me with you.""I realized that's how he was feeling,"says Fukuda.
The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People
laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human
translation machine in 2002.But 300, 000 Japanese dog owners bought it._______(2)
"Nobody else had thought about it,"said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara.
"We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we
could understand dogs?"
Bowlingual has two parts._______(3)The translation is done in the gadget
using a database containing every kind of bark.
Based on animal behaviour research,these noises are divided into six categories:
happiness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire._______(4)In
this way,the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated
into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud"bow wow".
_________(5)It was followed by"I'm stronger than you"as the dog growled and
sniffed（嗅）at the visitor.

store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.
