Animal lovers, rejoice! A new device called iCPooch lets canine owners video chat with their beloved pets while out of town or at work.

All you’ve got to do is attach a tablet to the free-standing iCPooch, which is a rectangular box with a dispenser. Not only does it let you and your pet get some FaceTime, but the app even lets people control when their pup or kitty gets a treat.

The best part? iCPooch, hundreds of which have already sold online, was the genius idea of a 14-year-old.

Creator Brooke Martin came up with the idea because she got upset when she was away from her dog, Kayla.

“I felt so guilty that I had to leave her alone all day depressed by herself,” Martin told CBS News. “I thought it would be great to connect with her while I was gone.”

Martin built the prototype with the help of her father. The device will be on store shelves in time for the holidays.
