My black labrador retriver, Shadow, needed a safe way of being identified by passing vehicles during evening walks.  I sewed in 9 of Adafruit's Neopixels to the vest and ran a simple connector harness into the inside pocket of his PooBoss Dog Utility Vest.  I plug in the Flora and a battery pack - and we're off for our evening walk!  This project will take approx. 8 hours and involves *NO* soldering.  Perfect for beginning electronics hobbyists.
