He asked his veterinarian if someone made implants, "so Buck can maintain his God-given natural look." The vet told him that was "the craziest damn thing I've ever heard of." That's when the idea for Neuticles first came into Gregg Miller's head. "He saw me, I saw him.and it's like what you see in the scene when there's two fat people running across the field to embrace." Miller realized, though, that he needed to neuter Buck, or "this is going to happen again.'"
He was eventually found a few miles away. "It was the most hideous four days of my life," he says.īuck had apparently taken off after smelling the scent of a female dog in heat. But one day Buck went missing, a story which still makes Miller emotional. He refused to neuter Buck, not wanting to put the dog (or himself) through that experience.

"Believe me, after 12 years of the candy business, you get kind of sick of it," he said. Miller invented SweeTube, a three-foot long tube filled with layers of candy, which he ended up selling to outlets like Macy's and Disneyland. "I thought, 'God, something more can be done with this little tube than just mailing a catalog.'" He decided to put candy in it. One day he noticed a catalog came in the mail in a tube.
"They didn't think about being an entrepreneur as a positive thing," he says. Gregg Miller grew up near Kansas City and studied journalism at Central Missouri State, but he hated the newspaper business, so he started his own advertising company over the objections of his parents.
