    My comment is true, and I’m aware how gps works. There’s 2 concepts here.

    1. Where is the dog. (This is done by cell tower, or gps. But for this purpose, assume only the collar is informed.

    2. Tell the owner where the dog is. (this is done by cell tower, or something like satellite messaging. NOT GPS)

    You are correct that to collect the location data to your person you need connectivity and gps does not do that.

    This is an example, which requires you get within 9 miles of the dog.
