Humping USB Dog

Harley and Duke are naughty doggies. They won’t eat out of their food bowls; they track mud all over the place; they are constantly burying our pens; and they have a peculiar naughtiness whenever they spy a free USB port. They…well…they sort of, kind of, um… “go to town,” if you will. And they won’t stop until you um…separate them from the source of their affections.

Why are they like this? We have no idea. It doesn’t serve any purpose, but it’s what they do. They are insatiable. And that’s all we really have to say. Harley is brown and Duke is black, and you can take your pick. Oh, and don’t worry - if the kids ask what the doggie is doing to your computer, just say, “He’s trying to jump over the computer, but he got a little stuck,” or “The computer is giving him a piggyback ride.” Either will suffice.

Each dog is about 2.25″ tall and requires USB power to get turned on. Sorry, we had to.
