Teach your dog to talk!

Daily writing prompt
Come up with a crazy business idea.

People love their pets and most will do just about anything for them. But it would be absolutely silly to think that you could teach your dog to talk, right? Unless “talk” means communicate…then it’s not so senseless – “teach your dog to talk” becomes the sensational “grab”. The advertising line that makes people take a second look. For my older readers: remember “Ayds” – the candy that made people lose weight? It was basically a very overpriced box of caramels that sold out every January as we watched thin women eat them and proclaim that’s how they “lost weight”. Is that any crazier than my talking dog scenario? Unfortunately, “Ayds” ended it’s campaign in the 80’s due to a tragedy with a similar name.

For crazy business ideas, one has only to look to the weight loss industry. My talking dog idea is not quite as crazy next to them.
