What IS that?
Finally, a dog muzzle that’s all it’s quacked up to be. Made by Japanese designer pet supplies company Oppo, the duck-billed dog muzzle (starting at $13.57 on Amazon) replaces those traditionally ugly and menacing-looking devices with a cute, fun look. This product for curbing a dog’s aggression in a non-threatening way has a simple name: Quack.

Fourteen-year-old Taylor Rosenthal of Opelika, Ala., made national news recently when he turned down a $30 million buyout opportunity for his computerized vending machines that dispense first-aid products. He later said his asking price to sell the vending machine company, RecMed, is $50 million.
The machine dispenses first-aid packages for ailments such as cuts, sunburns, bee stings and blisters ($5.99 to $15.95) or individual supplies such as bandages, gauze pads and rubber gloves ($6 to $20). Rosenthal hopes to sell the machines to major amusement parks and sporting venues.
