Heh, sure, but are you going to teach your dog how to use the InReach Mini? I had a previous Garmin, worked reasonably ... if there was a cell signal. The battery died, Garmin wouldn't sell me a new one, and the replacement unit increased the monthly cost by 3x.

With APRS I can find my dog, no monthly, and in large outdoor areas APRS has MUCH better coverage than cell.
