I'm sure many of you reading this will think they have a shot at winning $2,000.00 for owning the world's least obedient dog. Well, you have until September 30, 2005 to get your videotape into Hasbro.

Hasbro, the well known toy maker, has a line of toys called, "FURREAL FRIENDS", which they're marketing as "plush-pets", or what most of us refer to as "stuffed animals". (It's SO not PC to say "stuffed animals").

Anyways, the FURREAL FRIENDS have little electric motors in them that cause them to do cute and cuddly things. Hasbro has a FURREAL FRIEND called, "Smoochie Pup" (as if we all had a dog named "Smoochie Pup"), that craves your attention. Hence justifying the contest for the most disobedient LIVE dog.

Interestingly, Hasbro also a FURREAL cat. On its website, there is a page for frequently asked questions, and one of them is, "How do I make my FURREAL FRIENDS Cat hiss?". Their answer? "To activate the hiss feature, you must hold the tail for several seconds."

Great educational toy, huh?
