Whether your furry friends are roaming around inside or outside, features like Two-Way Talk and Color Night Vision let you see and communicate with your pets through the Ring app and compatible Alexa devices, like the Echo Show 15. Sometimes, those features are useful when you’re away from home and worried there’s trouble, and sometimes, it’s when your pupper or cat is the trouble.
