Winstead client Whit Christensen has invented a solution for pet owners that he hopes to see on display in pet stores around the world soon.  It's called tikr and Winstead associate Sam Udovich and shareholder Ross Robinson are representing Mr. Christensen on the patent work for the new product.  tikr is an interactive treat toy that is designed to surprise and delight four legged pets for prolonged periods of time. Fill tikr with treats, then set the length of playtime by turning the built-in timer dial from five to 45 minutes. The design has no electronics and no batteries.  The prototype has been perfected over the past two and a half years.  Dogs tested absolutely love playing with tikr!  Production is nearly ready, and now the inventor is asking the Kickstarter community to help him make tikr a reality for dog lovers everywhere.  Click here to learn more abou tikr.
