this story was first cited on viralhog‘s youtube channel. the video featured no context other than a quote from its submitter and assumed inventor, ‘humans have massage chairs, so why shouldn’t our pets have petting machines. I gave it a rube goldberg style flare to make it interesting to watch.’

the contraption allows two wooden hands to simultaneously move and pet the pup

the designer might not have considered smaller dogs…but they can be easily picked up to access the device
