Sure, having a dog comes with countless mental and physical health benefits—not to mention companionship at a time when people may otherwise be alone for months on end. But does that precious pooch ever contribute to the household expenses? Probably not (unless they are employed as a guard dog for someone who hates receiving mail). Well, now’s their chance to earn their keep. Here’s how your canine friend can help you earn $500 for giving feedback on dog toys.
What the position entails
The latest entry in the ever-popular “dream job” contest genre, this one comes from Wishlisted, who seeks a very good girl or boy to test out a bunch of toys, treats and other goodies from top pet subscription boxes. Of course, this will take some work on your part, too, because you’ll have to write down your dog’s opinion in order to provide feedback on their new items—whether or not it’s pawsitive.
Specifically, the team at Wishlisted is looking to find out “which toys are the squeakiest, which ropes are the toughest and which treats are the yummiest.” In addition to the $500 and whatever comes in the subscription boxes that are being reviewed, the dog will also receive a six-month supply of their favorite dog food (worth up to $300).
How to apply
In order to be considered for the position, you (as the human) have to fill out this form on behalf of your dog, including information on your pup’s preferences. The human must be at least 18 years-old to apply, be able to receive deliveries of multiple packages and agree to these terms and conditions. Entries will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EST on December 12th. One lucky dog will be chosen as the winner/toy consultant.
And this one comes with a bonus: for every application Wishlisted receives (up to 1,000) they will donate a meal to Satchel’s Last Resort—a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary in Sarasota, Florida.
