Sometimes, you have to leave your dog home alone. Wouldn't it be great if you could feel good about it? Dogopolis is proud to introduce KongTime, all day entertainment for the home-alone dogâ„¢.
Put dog food or a biscuit inside a Kong toy and what do you have? Magic. Your dog will happily chew at the Kong toy, trying to get out every last morsel. It's fun!
But what about all the days your dog spends at home?
Alone. Bored. Nothing to do.
KongTime automatically dispenses food-filled Kong toys while you are away. KongTime entertains your dog and gives your dog something to look forward to. We call it Doggie Day Care in a Box; don't be surprised if your dog starts handing you your briefcase in the morning.

Actually, I'm not sure this is really an instance of the dogs-as-children trend. Few people leave their children home alone during the work day. And heck, if you're going to have a dog, you should treat him well (memo to dog-children owners: treating a dog well isn't the same thing as treating him as a person).
