Dog TV? For reals?

A new digital TV channel promises to deliver programming for -- get this -- "stay-at-home dogs." 

Dog TV promises programming like the video above, simulating what a dog might see from a moving car. There'll also be video of dogs playing or "relaxation" programming such as a faraway boat moving across a tranquil lake. A Marketwatch podcast even mentioned dogs like watching "SpongeBob Squarepants."

Here's how DogTV describes its vision:

"DOGTV's subscription-based channel organizes programing into 3 to 6 minutes of relaxing, stimulating and behavior-improving segments that work collaboratively to provide just the right balance for the daily routines of our beloved “stay-at-home” dogs."

Dog TV is a fee-based service, at $5 per month. Marketwatch reports there won't be any commercials, although I can see some crazy marketing trying to figure something out.

The smart folks at Newsy saw my post and pointed me to their own much more informative take on Dog TV, which I'm sharing here.
