How many times have you sat in front of the telly and thought to yourself: Man, I wish I could just let my dog flip through the channels? Zero times, right?

Still, Roku’s got a new remote called Press Paws, ergonomically designed to make it easier for your dog to use. 

Roku claims the remote is actually designed for your dog to use when you’re not at home. It’s got paw-shaped buttons (adorable!) and buzzwords such as “Bark Assistant Technology,” with commands such as “bark to play,” “bark to volume” and “bark to mute.”

The Roku Press Paws was available for purchase on the company’s website on (*cough*) April 1, 2019, Roku said — coincidence? We think not.
