If you’re hearing dogs talk to you, don’t panic. It may only by your email. 

Petcentric.com, a web site devoted to providing information and stories about pets has a feature called Doggie-Mail, an interactive service that allows dog lovers to send free email messages in the voice of their very own customized canine.

When visitors log on to the site, they can choose one of three animated dogs to convey their message and then customize the character’s wardrobe, props and scene. They can choose to deck out their dog in a cowboy hat and dress shirt, or jazz up the pooch’s panache with a feather boa and sunglasses. They can also choose from a variety of backdrops, including a dude ranch or a festive Hawaiian beach.

After choosing a dog and customizing its outfit, users select a pre-recorded message for the dog to speak, or type their own message and choose a voice to accompany it. A toll-free number is also provided for users who wish to record a message using their own voice. Once the email has been customized, they can send the talking dog and its message to as many friends as they like.
