I was with friends who have a Tibetan Mastiff who is the size of a small pony. I’ve known this animal since he was a puppy and he has always been a (big black fluffy) marshmallow with me, but they mentioned that he truly hates a mutual acquaintance and has nipped this guy. I said “Maybe we should get a custom chew-toy with [Donald’s*] likeness for him.”
What about this idea for a business in our Etsy/3D Printing/computer-controlled embroidery age? Chew toys for dogs in the shape of or with the likeness of someone the dog hates?

Great! then Fido, emboldened by all the chewing will give a good hard bite to Donald and (1) get put down and (2) give the owners a massive legal suit (and possibly a criminal record)!
The better market is for well known personalities, rather than bespoke chew toys. I imagine a selection of, say, several of the top presidential candidates selling well.

Here’s a Berkeley startup that uses a 3D printer to print five-inch figurines of people. You have to stand still for a moment in a booth surrounded by dozens of cameras that capture your coordinates. The results are pretty cool.

No. I would not own a dog that bites folk.
I’m not sure encouraging the dog like that is such a good idea! It’d be far better both for the guy, and more importantly, for the dog too, to teach the dog not to bite: How To Stop A Dog From Biting
I must say I do like J. Peterson’s idea about the presidential candidates though – genius!
