 The Pet Companion application wants to be accessible via the Internet, not just via your local network, so that when you're out and about you can see video of your little guy/gal and give him/her little rewards whenever you like.
-Vizy makes it easy to share your applications seamlessly on the Internet.  [[wiki:remote|Web sharing]] requires some easy setup.  Setting up a custom domain can make it very straightforward for your friends/family to access Pet Companion and check in on your pet.  You can give them the "Guest" account and password so they can't change things (e.g. network configuration, currently running app, etc.)

 ==== Auto-treat ====
-Consider adding an "auto-treat" option by using the treat dispenser and the TensorFlow detection of your pet.  For example, the auto-treat could be triggered when your pet sits in a particular place for an extended period of time, like his/her crate (put the treat dispenser where he/she can reach it within the crate), which could help with crate training.

+===== Just show me the app =====
-===== Wrapping up =====
+You can find a more or less complete version of Pet Companion in the Vizy Examples -- that is, bring up the **Apps/examples** dialog, choose **Examples** and browse to **Pet Companion**.  If you can't find Pet Companion in the Examples, make sure you're running version 0.1.98 or greater, and [[wiki:update_vizy_software|update]] if necessary.
+The source code can also be found [[https://github.com/charmedlabs/vizy/tree/main/examples/pet_companion|here]].
+===== Wrapping up =====
 You've just made an application with video streaming, deep learning, cloud communication, interactivity, IOT and robotics -- nice work!  Give yourself a pat on the back for being such a dedicated pet owner.  Your pet would totally give you a treat if he/she could!
