This Man Has Developed QR Codes To Keep Track Of Stray Dogs

An engineer from Mumbai has developed QR codes to monitor stray dogs and his heart-warming gesture is winning hearts on the internet.

Akshay Ridlan, the man behind this new technology says the QR codes will help the government to keep a track of the dogs’ locations and make strategies for their sterilisation or vaccination. Soon, he plans on making this technology available to people and organisations who feed and rescue animals.

Talking about how the technology is used, Akshay said, “I attach the QR code with the reflective collar and then scan the QR with the scanner on my phone. After scanning, I get all the details in the digital form of a particular dog. This creates a UID (Unique identification), gender, pet name, name of the caretaker, phone number of the caretaker, and medical/vaccination history of the dog.”
