Finding Rover, An App That Uses Facial Recognition to Help Reunite Lost Dogs with Their Humans

Finding Rover is a handy free app that helps to reunite lost dogs with their frantic humans through the use of canine facial recognition.

Here’s how it works. If you ever lose your dog, the app will do an instant facial recognition search of all lost dogs in your area. Within seconds you’ll see a list of dogs’ photos with the contact information of the kind person (or shelter) who has the dog. Contact the person or shelter, and a blissful scene of face licking and tummy rubbing will follow. On the flip side, Finding Rover revolutionizes the process of helping lost dogs…Simply snap a photo and the app instantly shows you photos of matching dogs with the owners’ contact info.

The app is available via iTunes, Google Play or via the Finding Rover site.
