A Creative Woodworker Builds an Automatic Dog Petter

Michigan woodworker Matt Thompson of Thompson Woodworks who once built a marvelous beer dispensing chair in the shape of his beloved state, crafted a wonderful, free standing automatic dog petter for his two doggos of two very different sizes, Bonnie and Clyde.

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.
