Super bowl! Obama orders dog 'refresher' from inventor rejected by Dragons' Den (who went on to make £1m)

Revenge, it is said, is a dish best served cold. And Natalie Ellis would add that it's particularly satisfying to deliver it in a dog bowl. The aspiring businesswoman was reduced to tears on the BBC's Dragons' Den when the panel rejected her invention, the non-spill Road Refresher travel bowl.

But now she's having the last laugh - because she's just been asked to supply the White House with a Road Refresher for Barack Obama's presidential pedigree, Bo.

Mrs Ellis, 41, said yesterday: 'I was taken aback by the news. It's absolutely amazing to think my invention is going to be used in the White House. In the back of my mind I can't help thinking, "Yes, Dragons, you were wrong".'

(What? Where's the proof that the President ordered a Road Refresher for Bo? Um....... :shrug:)
