Eyeware that dogs can't resist...this is good?

 

We're not sure this is the best sales pitch: Eyewear so irresistable to dogs, they'll constantly be trying to chew it up.

But hey, if that's what the company Eye-bobs wants to go with....

They brag in a press release, "The international, irreverent reading glass company has created a product so unique that even dogs are interested in them. Specifically, many faithful eye–bobs customers have notified the company that their pets’ favorite new chew toy is a pair of the funky frames."

Hmm.

“We get numerous e-mails from customers letting us know that their frames have been destroyed by their dog either as a chew toy or eaten entirely,” Julie Allinson, founder and president of eye–bobs eyewear said in the release.  “We knew that the vibrant colors in our summer collection like chartreuse, purple, zesty orange and red would attract the human eye, but now we know it’s appealing to the animal world as well!”

Hmm.

The glasses run $65 to $75 a pair -- kind of expensive, methinks, for a dog toy.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
