If you have a busy life, you might not have time to give your dog the attention that she deserves. Instead of allowing your dog to be sad and neglected, why not get yourself a dog auto-petter as shown in U.S. Patent 4,872,422 that was issued to Rita Della Vecchia in 1989.
But what if my dog is really big or extremely small?
Luckily, the auto-petter arm can be raised and lowered on its stand so that it can be custom-fit to the height of your precious pet.
So how does the auto-petter know when to pet my dog?
Well, some versions of the auto-petter have an “electronic eye” that sees when the dog is in the right position under the arm, and then begins to vigorously pet and scratch the dog.
Do dogs enjoy the auto-petter?
Of course they do! What dog would not love a disembodied hand that would come to life and touch the dog when the dog came near it. Not convinced? The patent drawings show an example of a satisfied customer:
