Wriggling Puppies Power a Web Video Start-Up

Most start-ups hope to hit the big time with a killer application or a deep-pocketed investor. But for one Silicon Valley company, it was a litter of wriggling, caramel-colored puppies that put it on the map.

The flurry of attention began last month when a Bay Area couple's pet Shiba Inu, a kind of Japanese hunting dog, gave birth, and its owners decided to train a Webcam on the newborn pups so they could keep an eye on them from work. (The owners say they would prefer to remain anonymous for personal and safety reasons.)
