Meet Argyle the Sock Dog
Spokes-sock, Petz.com
Argyle was discovered in June 1999 in the lost-and-found box of a self-serve laundromat in Fresno, California, where he had been waiting for his matching sock for nearly three years. It never came. But Petz.com did.
Today Argyle is the most recognized sock in America. He has appeared on three morning talk shows, one late-night talk show, a parade balloon and a cereal box (regional). He answers all his own fan mail, with help.

"I bought 500 shares of PETZ because of you. My wife says I should have bought the puppet instead. Which one is going to be worth more in a year? Just curious."
