The perfect pet?
Are you allergic to animals? Do you travel a lot? Then a pet rock just might be the perfect pet for you! Unwind by rubbing your smooth pet rock's surface and tell it all about your day. A pet rock is a great listener! It also travels well! You never have to have a pet carrier and they don't cost extra! Can you imagine thinking up the idea of the pet rock and having millions of people buy it? That's what happened to creator Gary Dahl in 1975. They sold for $4 each, which today would be like paying around $18 a piece!
