This. Could. Change. Everything.

This dog catapult could be the greatest invention since the dog itself

Dogs are great, right?

No argument there. We love the smelly little canine critters, with their waggy tails and their cute eyes and their boundless enthusiasm and their snuggly chests that you just want to bury your face in.

Except when it's half ten at night and it was a tough day at work and you've just managed to get the kids down to bed and it's raining outside and the couch looks so inviting and STILL the hound is standing there, staring at you.

With that 'don't even think about sitting down it's walk time' look.

But wait…

We've put people on the moon, haven't we? Surely there must be some kind of automatic dog-exercising contraption that could take the edge off, at the very least.

Enter the Dog Catapult, about which we know nothing bar the fact that it was posted online under the title 'what happens when an engineer owns a dog' and is UTTER GENIUS.

We doff our caps to the man/woman/extra-terrestrial super-being who built this.

We also doff our caps to the first commenter under the Reddit thread about this glorious marvel of technology.

That must be the happiest Jack Russell in the world.

Now, where do we get instructions to build one?
