Pawdigy was inspired by an Australian Shepherd by the name of Mason. When Mason was bored, he made no secret of this fact, particularly during the periods he had to endure apartment living. Mason enjoyed a life full of adventure and travel, and he was even an avid sailor, though perhaps that last one wasn't entirely his choice. Mason tried a lot of puzzle toys in his day before his human finally decided to make one of his own. Mason was the co-founder and original Pawdigy, and he is sorely missed.
