A Chrome extension places a tiny animal at the edge of every page, where it runs with your scroll speed, sits when you stop, and sleeps when you leave.

Why it surfaced

ScrollDog turns scroll position into a dog’s route and scroll velocity into its gait: flick the wheel and it sprints; read slowly and it trots. The page extends the joke into a carefully specified product, with cats, ducks, unicorns, bugs, offline unlocks, no account, and a one-time $4 purchase instead of a subscription.
