    Let us all take a moment to pray this doesn't become the next Elmo.

    I guess the "Poo-poo dog" is up next. I do like the expression on his face.

    You might be right on the next version. Village Vanguard already sells the USB Sit-up dogs and the USB Humping Dog(no kidding).

    What a riot! I have got to get one for everybody in the office.I can just imagine it, "Hey, your wee-wee dog just wee-weed on my monthly cash flow balance sheet." So funny!

    So is the little fire hydrant sold separately? What a scam.

    That dog is deformed. No way it would wee at that angle in that pose.

    Still, the wind-up thingy on the side suggests that it might walk....I might get one for the cat, see if he'll chase it instead of trying to take chunks out of the 100% organic dogs that live with us.

    @cleo: Dude. Take it easy.

    Actually, I agree with cleo (who may not be a "dude", but a 'dudette". Isn't that water stream coming out of the dog's back leg??? I once knew a Shibainu who would do a handstand (pawstand?) straight up to do this business.

    @cleo: yeah. "dude" LOL!!

    Cleo probably is ringing the bell marked "animals are animals and humans should not caricature or ridicule them". I agree. Real animals are fascinating. I like peeing cherubs and spitting mermaids for cuteness, myself.

    I've been looking for one of these for months!

    Finally!

    Yeah, Shibas are apparently known for weeing in weird poses. Our Shiba doesn't lift his leg or do handstands, he just stands there with his back legs very slightly bent - and wets his front legs. Upsets him every time.

    "animals are animals and humans should not caricature or ridicule them"

    Hey, it's just a toy. If it teaches even one dizzy airhead that dogs go toilet before she buys her designer pup and dumps it at the pound the first time it wets her pristine carpet, I'm all for it.

    And yes, cleo is emphatically a dudette. :-)

    SiouxChef,

    Front paws! That's what made it so awesome. I have a photo somewhere...

    Oh, c'mon! Would you really buy one of these? Seriously?

    Sure beats a pet rock or tamagochi.

    Would you really buy one of these? Seriously?

    Depends on the price, size, etc., but as a cat toy? Yeah. Don't think Kitty would like the weewee though.

    I might get one to add to my weird toy collection. Doubt it will beat the "Humping Dog" though, my friends love that gadget.

    Videos can be found on Youtube.

    Beats them? Pretty much on par, I reckon.

    Pet rocks are nice and quiet and easy to train to sit stay and you can leave them at home without a pet-sitter, but they do tend to break other pets' teeth. And the bigger ones are hell to take for a walk.

    "For me to poop on" Oh, wait a minute wrong dog. I like wind-up toys so this is cool by me.

    A laugh goes a long way in making the world slightly happier place to live.

    Gag toys always make great conversationally pieces, I've got a toy reindeer that poops smarties and a derriere pencil sharpener in my home office that the wife picked up for me from the Castro district. Do the items save the world, no not really, but does being a prude save the world?

    (looks at photo) Umm... No! Just... NO!! The sad thing is this will be the next best-seller in Spencer's Gifts.
