A new product from Mattel called “Puppy Tweets” allows your dog to (surprise, surprise) tweet. The plastic device connects to your computer via USB. You then have to create a Twitter account for your dog. After that is accomplished, all you need to do is clip the device to your dog’s collar and the device will update Sparky’s Twitter account using various preset Tweets.
