Just install Amazon Collar round your dog's neck. It will lightly caress it as the delivery person approaches your house, ensuring your items get there safely.

I prefer Amazon Dog. Then you get all of the benefits of a real dog, but it lives in the cloud.

This sounds like a Black Mirror episode. A large kennel where tens of thousands of dogs are kept with Amazon Cloud Cams streaming their videos to their "families."

The Kitty Cafe concept, where you can pay to have tea and play with cats in person, is sort of an AWS equivalent for the cat ownership experience. It's fascinating that tea is an expected cofactor in this relationship.

It's because the tea is the actual product - there's no guarantee the cats will be available / awake - cats being cats.

CryptoPuppies are better, they live in the blockchain.

About 56% of US households had pets in 2011.

That's a huge chunk of customers they're missing out on.

I get the feeling that Amazon is indifferent to "missing out". The approach is to throw stuff on the wall and see what sticks.

Think of Amazon Key as your average tech startup that has Amazon branding.

See what sticks, iterate and improve.

For those with pets, get your own Amazon Locker installed on your porch...

Not all of them bark or are aggressive.

Pets escaping is likely a concern.
