Dog-O-Matic is the Coin-Op Laundrette to Clean Your Canine

by Jay Garrett on May 19, 2009

dog-o-maticI had to check that this was real – I mean, would the Daily Mail lie to me?

Apparently the Dog-o-Matic is real.

The Dog-o-Matic was created by French Inventor Romain Jarry, and it is designed to be used like a coin-op washing machine for mans best friend.

It costs the equivalent of £13 to wash a small dog, £22 for medium size, rising to £31 for the largest customers.

Cats can also be catered for – at the small-dog price – but with more claws!!!

Apparently the machine has been successful in France, so the inventor now intends to bring it to the UK which is renowned for being a nation of dog lovers.

The Dog-O-Matic takes about 30 minutes to fully wash your dog.

The inventor says that dogs don’t mind being in it - let me see if he thinks the same after washing a Staffordshire Bull Terrier…….

G-Dog – Nothing to do With Gangsta Rap yo!

by Jay Garrett on November 7, 2008

Yo! Check it bruv.

Dis ere is my dawg; G-Dog yo!

Ahem………..

Sorry but for some reason this robo-mut makes me wanna spit gangsta style.

Perhaps it has something to do with this robo-mut being called G-Dog.

Japanese robot maker HPI will start selling this robotic dog, the above named later this month.

The mainly aluminium pooch-droid is powered by a 7.2V nickel metal hydride battery and features a total of nine servomotors. It measures 75×135×190mm and weighs 570g. Good doggy.

Users will be able to control the G-Dog wirelessly via a Playstation-like joypad. The robot is able to sit up and beg, crawl and roll over to its side.

You never know – this canny canine may even get the chance to mark its territory outside of Japan for a change.
