Ollie the Pointer’s paw-pointing antics are hilariously futile! Never knew dogs pointed until I met GSP owners. Ollie’s summer trail walks are full of bunny and squirrel ‘hunts’, with him pointing for minutes, yet he’s never caught one.

Ollie’s earnest ‘hunts’ are not just amusing but also a poignant reminder of the evolution of the role of dogs in our lives. From once being valued primarily for their utility - herding, hunting, guarding - dogs like Ollie now find their primary place as human companions. This shift reflects a deeper change in how we view and value these loyal friends, not for what they can do, but for the joy and companionship they bring into our lives.

I recently purchased the Meta Spectacles. I often find myself fumbling for my camera when I am on walks with Ollie. There is always something interesting e.g. he suddenly wants to play with me or chase a squirrel or simply run around like crazy.

The experience has not been mind-blowing, but the convenience has been undeniable. I just look and press a button and bam it is ready to go.

Key Highlights:

• Stylish and practical, doubling as sunglasses.
• User-friendly: A quick button press snaps a photo, while a longer press records video.
• Impressive frame stabilization.
• High-definition video and image quality, though not on par with DSLRs or smartphones.
• The audio quality is excellent. People around me can hear some sounds, but it is incoherent to them.

Drawbacks to Consider:

• Video recording is limited to 1 minute.

I’ve included a sample video of Ollie frolicking on a Santa Cruz beach. Notice the effective stabilization and decent quality, despite some color washout in bright sunlight
