(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
Meet Diane Diraimo. She’s a dog lover from Rhode Island. And, she has an idea for something to help keep dogs hydrated on a hot day. Especially, when a bowl of water isn’t so handy.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
We got our first dog. Our little baby, Alexander James, who is the love of our lives. And, I worried about him, when we took him out in the car or wherever, if he was going to have enough water. I didn’t want to do the bowl, because it was an inconvenience.<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
Just imagine for a minute that you are a dog, right? And, you’re sitting out there in the really hot sun with a bad case of cotton mouth. Well, that’s the problem that Diane is trying to solve.<\/p>

(Curtis, Creationeer)<\/b>
So, Diane’s idea came into the department and her problem is that she’s trying to hydrate a dog, when there’s not a water bowl available. And, I can kind of relate to that, because I am a pet lover myself.<\/p>

(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
Curtis is a dog lover, so Diane’s idea went straight to his desk. His team had to create a new doggy device that was an on-the-spot thirst quencher. And, like all new product ideas, it has to be cost effective to manufacture, appeal to consumers, and fit into a company’s product line.<\/p>

(Curtis, Creationeer)<\/b>
So, what does a dog love more than food? A ball! So, we thought we would take the idea of trying to put some kind of a hydration system into a dog toy.<\/p>

(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
So, the concept was simple. A ball that holds water and unscrews to be easily filled for drinking. It could also be used as a toy.<\/p>

(Dan, Licensing)<\/b>
We were in discussions with Hugs Pet Products on another project. And, Diane’s idea popped into my head. We went into the product vault, pulled it out, and showed Hugs.<\/p>

(Curtis, Creationeer)<\/b>
They gave us a lot of feedback on the design and we had some tweaks that we had to make.<\/p>

(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
The team revamped the design to be a dog bone chew toy that holds water. It has tiny holes in it where the water gushes out when it’s squeezed. The team called it the Hydro Bone.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
It was just amazing. These guys still care and they are still doing their best to make it work.<\/p>

(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
With the new design complete, it still had to pass one more test before getting licensed.<\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
Since the Hydro Bone is designed to be used in a lot of different kinds of environments by a lot of different kinds of dogs, we thought it should go through a lot of different, random tests. So, the first test: Squishability.<\/p>

(Curtis hits the Hydro Bone with a large hammer)<\/b><\/p>

(Voiceover)<\/b>
Pass!<\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
Cinder blockability.<\/p>

(Clay drops a cinder block from high above)<\/b><\/p>

(Curtis)<\/b>
Good shot.<\/p>

(Voiceover)<\/b>
Pass!<\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
Anybody going to get me down?<\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
Flamability.<\/p>

(Curtis and Clay light the Hydro Bone on fire)<\/b><\/p>

(Curtis)<\/b>
It looks flammable.<\/p>

(Voiceover)<\/b>
Fail.<\/p>

(Curtis)<\/b>
Launchability.<\/p>

(Curtis shoots the Hydro Bone at a Clay Bullseye made of foam)<\/b><\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
You broke the bone.<\/p>

(Voiceover)<\/b>
Fail.<\/p>

(Curtis)<\/b>
Well, it looks like the Hydro Bone didn’t survive all of our tests, but hey, at least the dog likes it.<\/p>

(Clay)<\/b>
Dogability? Pass!<\/p>

(Dan, Licensing)<\/b>
So, Hugs [Pet Products] saw the new design and loved it and immediately licensed it.<\/p>

(Curtis, Creationeer)<\/b>
We can actually take the same kind of technology that we have for the Hydro Bone and we can incorporate it into several different other dog toys.<\/p>

(Narrator: George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
We invited Diane to visit us at Inventionland, where there were a few surprises waiting for her. (Shows Diane the Pop display of her Hydro Toys)<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
And, this is what it’s going to look like in the retail stores.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
Oh my gosh. Oh, that’s beautiful.<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
So, it was your idea. It started with you. It’s only fitting that you’re here to share in this today. And, it will be in Petco Stores across America.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
Oh, I can’t even believe this. This is amazing. This is totally amazing.<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
This is what they look like (hands Diane a Hydro Bone) and I think if you turn that over, there’s a little something extra for you on the back. (Diane flips over to reveal her royalty check for $13,400)<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
That’s your first royalty check.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
Are you serious?<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
(Repeats) That’s your first royalty check. What do you think?<\/p>

(Kristen, Diane’s Daughter)<\/b>
Wow.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)<\/b>
Oh my gosh. I…<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
Congratulations. (to Diane)<\/p>

(George M. Davison (aka Mr. D), CEO and Founder of Davison)<\/b>
We’re really happy that Diane didn’t give up on her idea. There was a time there, where we thought that this thing might just sit around and collect dust. Then, a few stars started to line up and the next thing you know, this thing took off like a rocket ship.<\/p>

(Inventor: Diane)(Shows her in Petco seeing her product)<\/b>
I’m speechless. And, I am at a loss for words, I really am.<\/p>

(Kristen, Diane’s Daughter)<\/b>
Everyone was so wonderful and kind and Mr. D was amazing. I’m extremely proud of her. More than she will ever know.<\/p>
