**Featured Work:
**Wag Union is a solution that proposes tracking and studying dogs in shelters, which would provide the data necessary for a better matchmaking process. The system’s goal is to identify and learn dog behaviors, pair dogs with people looking for specific traits, give dogs a wearable personality bandana, and continue to monitor dog behaviors to refine knowledge of any dog-type.
