A researcher from Georgia Tech is working on giving dogs the ability to talk to humans, and it could have huge potential for service dogs.
Melody Moore Jackson, creator and director of Georgia Tech's BrainLab, is creating computerized vests for dogs so they can "speak."

A dog named Sky activates the tug sensor on the FIDO vest. The vest is a piece of wearable technology designed to allow working dogs to perform more tasks and communicate more information. Source: http://www.npr.org/2015/01/17/376198998/sit-stay-call-911-fido-vest-gives-service-dogs-an-upgrade
