Burglers are no doubt shaking with fear over this invention. We've seen Sony's Aibo provide creature comfort, but this Sanyo canine contraption supposedly will provide creature protection.

Faithful Banryu detects, what he is programming to think of as an intruder, and the recording of a dog running through a house is played in addition to an occasional bark, followed by more barking as Banryu reaches the nearest location in the house where the sound originated from. Using a locally secure wireless connection (assuming such a thing exists) Banryu connects to the ADT computers with a notification of a possible break in. The connection is kept live until the issue is resolved or a certain time period passes without any further intruders. That way if the little dragon stops responding because it is destroyed than ADT will know that they should send the authorities to drive by, and pretend like they care.

Funny look on Designtechnica.com at something that may or may not ever see the light of day.
