My comment is true, and I'm aware how gps works. There's 2 concepts here.
Where is the dog. (This is done by cell tower, or gps. But for this purpose, assume only the collar is informed.
Tell the owner where the dog is. (this is done by cell tower, or something like satellite messaging. NOT GPS)
You are correct that to collect the location data to your person you need connectivity and gps does not do that.
This is an example, which requires you get within 9 miles of the dog.

Your comment was true, but not exactly relevant since we were talking about airtag-like devices that don't have connectivity besides Bluetooth, saying that a device like them exists that has GPS built-in is kind of moot since they don't have any additional ways to send that location info.
The thing you linked would fall under the walkie-talkie-like device I described.
