わんシェア - 愛犬の散歩中の危険をマップで共有

"WanShare" is a dog walking safety measures and information sharing app designed to make daily walks with your beloved dog safer and more enjoyable.

Our goal is to create a society where dogs and their owners can live safely and happily, free from tragic incidents and accidents.

In recent years, tragic incidents that are absolutely unacceptable to dog lovers have been reported throughout Japan, such as the intentional scattering of suspicious or dangerous objects along walking routes.

To protect our precious family members (our dogs), who cannot express their danger in words, we believe a "communication network" is necessary, where owners can work together and share local information in real time.

The complacency of thinking, "It's okay because we always walk this route," can lead to irreversible consequences. Suspicious white powder on the roadside, food mixed with nails or glass shards, and even abandoned dog feces (some of which carry the risk of infectious diseases)—dangers that threaten your dog's life and health lurk along walking routes.

"WanShare" allows you to easily pin (post) information about suspicious objects or dog waste you find during your walks onto a map from the spot. Posted information is shared in real time with other dog owners walking in the area via the app.

This allows you to anticipate risks to your dog and take evasive action, such as changing your route, quickly.

Towards a city where all dogs and their owners can walk safely.

Your small notification could be the trigger to save the life of someone else's beloved dog.

Please use "WanShare" as your companion on walks starting today.

[Background of Development and Our Wish]
Currently, many dog ​​owners are using social media to warn others about things like "dangerous objects scattered in the neighborhood" or "sharp glass shards lying around."

With typical timeline-style social media, information gets lost over time, and there's a major problem in that it doesn't reach "fellow dog walkers in the same area" who truly need the information in a timely manner.

Furthermore, not only suspicious objects but also "abandoned dog waste" due to poor manners is a serious problem. Leaving dog feces unattended not only spoils the scenery but also poses a significant hygiene risk, as it can transmit parasitic and viral infections to other dogs.

To address these "dangers and stresses during walks," we developed "WanShare."

By linking location information (GPS) and map data, we have created a service that allows you to understand "where" and "what kind of dangers" exist on a map.

Our goal is to ensure that "not a single beloved dog suffers a tragic accident." We want to develop this app together with you as a community-based security map to prevent tragedies.

[Main Functions and Features]
1. Pinning Dangers Found During Walks (Suspicious Objects, Leaving Feces) on the Map
If you find something suspicious, leftover feces, or a dangerous obstacle during your walk, you can launch the app and place a "pin" at that location.

2. Real-Time Confirmation of Pinned Danger Information within the Local Community
All information you post, as well as highly accurate information posted by other users, is reflected in real time on a shared map. Checking the map before setting out for a walk or while walking allows for proactive risk avoidance, such as "There's abandoned dog poop ahead on this route, let's avoid it" or "There's been a report of a suspicious object near the next park, let's take a different route today." By everyone carefully watching out for their surroundings, the entire community can transform into a safe shelter for dogs.

3. Suspicious Object Information Can Be Posted in Detail with "Photos" and "Text Descriptions"
You can take photos with your smartphone camera and post them, as the shape and condition of suspicious objects are difficult to convey with words alone. Furthermore, you can add detailed text descriptions (e.g., "White powder has been placed in a paper cup under the bench," or "There appears to be a foreign object inside the meat").

Adding visual information and specific explanations makes it a valuable source of information for other dog owners approaching the scene, allowing them to more accurately detect danger and report or consult with the police or local authorities.

[This app is especially recommended for the following types of dog owners:]
* Those who prioritize the safety and health of their beloved dog above all else.
* Those who are concerned about the safety of nearby parks and walking routes.
* Those whose dogs have a habit of "eating things off the ground" and who are constantly on edge about the condition of the ground during walks.
* Those who are troubled by the manners of other dog owners (such as leaving dog feces unattended) and want to choose hygienic routes to walk on.
* Those who want to cooperate with other dog walkers in their area to contribute to creating a safe and dog-friendly neighborhood.
* Those who want to explore new walking routes but are hesitant because they are unsure about the safety of the area.

[Regarding our commitment to safety and security and manners]
"WanShare" is a community app built on the goodwill and trust of dog lovers. We have established the following guidelines so that everyone can exchange information with peace of mind.

* Posting pranks, false information, or using the app for the purpose of defamation is strictly prohibited.
* If you find a post containing suspicious items, please do not try to resolve it on your own, but contact the police or local government office immediately. Through this app, we aim to raise awareness of crime prevention in the community and improve walking manners among all pet owners (such as picking up dog waste).

Your kind step will illuminate a brighter future for all dogs.

Thank you for your support of "WanShare".
