The KONG Company is an American company that develops products for dogs and cats.
Back in the 1970s, Joe Markham (who became the company founder) created the original KONG dog toys after he noticed his German Shepherd Fritz was enjoying chewing on a hard rubber suspension device from a Volkswagen Bus which Joe was working on. Joe spent about 6 years experimenting with different company to produce a chew toy of a similar size and shape which he could then market and sell to pet owners.
One of Joe's friends made the comment that the newly designed toy looked like an earplug for King Kong - and hence the name of KONG was adopted for the original toy shape.
