Dog-o-Matic Washing Machine for Dogs

Yes this is real! French inventor Romain Jarry has created the Dog-o-Matic, which is essentially a giant washing machine for dogs. It takes about a half hour and prices range from around $20-$45 depending on the size of your pooch. You select the dog size and wash cycle, put your dog in the big door and press start. Despite the photo of that dog trying to claw his way out of the machine, the inventor insists that the dogs don't mind. There's one (apparently successful) machine in France now and Jarry wants to bring them to England soon. I know my dog is almost impossible to get into the bath, so I could see something like this being somewhat useful as a forced bath for him, but it does look a little uncomfortable for dogs.
