A Google trends comparison suggests that there was roughly equivalent search volume for the phrase 'dog dildo' as there was for the search term 'realistic dildo'<ref>https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=dog%20dildo,Realistic%20dildo</ref> from 2004 to the present. Disturbingly, one of related queries displayed by Google for the search term 'dog dildo' was the term 'large dog breeds'.
