It can probably get a little lonely at the desk if you’re surrounded by cubicles. While the USB HubDog can’t exactly provide you the companionship of a man’s best friend, at least it’s something quirky to look at when you’re typing up reports.

Just as its name suggests, the USB HubDog is a plug-in for any of your devices with [USB capability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiport-adapter). The [multi-hub accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimonitor-setup) is shaped like a canine with its legs functioning as four ports which should be more than enough for the average gadget user. There’s also a green light that will let you know if you’re connected properly. It’s ultra-portable, practical and cute, so why not add this [whimsical element to your desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-pet1)?

The USB HubDog is available for sale at Fredflare.
