These rascally dogs go bonkers over a laser pointer

Forget any of the practical uses for lasers. The only important thing to consider is whether your pets approve of it.

Merlin and Buddy aren’t cats, but that doesn’t mean they can’t appreciate a high-quality laser pointer. Which is why their owner gave them a chance to take the Stanley Intellilaser Pro Stud Sensor and Laser for a spin. 

Rather than simply chase the laser themselves—though they do that, too—Merlin gets to take a turn in the driver’s seat, while Buddy does his best to catch that pesky red dot.

The only downside to being in charge: Once he’s the master of the laser, Merlin can never truly get it for himself. Life can be so cruel.
