TL;DR: Keep your dog entertained while staying inside with the Wickedbone for $69.95, a 30% savings as of April 28.

The world has been flipped upside down and humans have been spending more time at home with their four-legged friends. The dogs have never been happier, but humans just can’t seem to get their work done. Busy days working from home are frustrating — especially when your pup just wants to play.

Fortunately, there’s a solution that can make you both happier and more productive: Wickedbone. Successfully funded on Kickstarter in less than 24 hours, the Wickedbone is a bone-shaped interactive robot dog toy that entertains your pet when you’re busy. It acts as a truly smart, fun, and enticing companion for your pup, so you can get your work done without constant interruptions from your furry friend.

With two different modes for different experiences, the Wickedbone lets you play together or allows your dog to play independently. You can control it through the Wickedbone app via Bluetooth and move it around with a virtual joystick, choosing between nine available motions and watching how your dog reacts. All you’ll need is iOS 9.0 or later or Android 4.3 or later.

When you need to get some work done, you can set it to interactive mode and attract Fido’s attention without any extra effort on your part. It will automatically react to your dog’s movements, keeping him or her entertained for hours. The toy can supposedly even track whether your dog is bored, content, startled, tickled, or upset, and change its motions based on their response.

The Wickedbone is also made of safe and durable FDA-certified material, is easy to clean, and will last up to four hours at a time on a single charge.

Watch how it works:

While it usually costs $99.99, you can grab the Wickedbone on sale for just $69.95 and maybe start actually getting your work done.
