As the explosion of the internet and a multitude of devices have allowed for humans to be constantly connected, we speculate that the evolution from human–machine to human–human mediated via machine will happen with non-human animals. We explore what dog-to-dog technology-mediated interactions and communication might look like.

In a co-design session based on dialogue-labs with 11 human and one dog participants, we present six design fictions for dog-to-dog interactions. This work adds new understandings in the co-design of computer interactions that allow non-human animals to connect to each other.
