LMAO! A dog with an airtag converted into an "annoyatron". I know a guy that pranked another guy at an old job with an annoyatron.

If anyone doesn't know what an annoyatron is, it's a small (the size of a quarter or 50¢ piece) circuit board that emits a noise periodically. The theory is that you hide one someplace and the noise is intermittent enough that the person has a hell of a time finding it and is driven crazy by the noise. Originally, I think it made a beep at a regular interval. Then a version came out where the interval of the beep was irregular. Then another version came out that made multiple noises and could be set to shuffle through the various noises at irregular time intervals.
