If you have a dog that loves playing fetch, you realize that it can be a never-ending day of throwing the ball and getting it back again.

Jerry the Dachshund is just such a dog, so his human took the next logical step and built him a fetch machine.

The man behind this ingenious machine decided to post a video on YouTube, saying that he built the machine because he knew Jerry would love it and it was something fun to build.

As it turns out, it was a project that took quite some time to complete. Jerry’s dad even said that it took two years of on-again-off-again work, including some safety features that were built into it.

This might make some people wonder if Jerry’s human dad just didn’t want to play fetch anymore. Nothing could be further from the truth. He just wanted something so Jerry could have fun, but as it turns out, he only played with the machine three times alone in his life.
