Just look how cute that puppy is up there. However, the way I look at this device is that someone stuck two empty toilet paper rolls onto two clasps from a hat. Granted, the inventor, James D. Williams, discussed prior art but all he seemed to mention was previous ear protector inventions. No where does he mention toilet paper rolls or the clasp of a hat. James was definitely successful in creating a device that is not obvious, but what he doesn't realize is that anyone could make this at home practically for free. Plus, I personally think its adorable when puppies haven't grown into their ears and end up getting it into their food so this invention is useless in my perspective.

Hi Harley,
ReplyDeleteThis invention looks hilarious, and I can't imagine any dog owner using this for their dog. I could see it being used as a gag gift maybe, but not for actual use. Really interesting find!
Best,
