British pet food brand Bakers have created the world's first vending machine for dogs. This adorable dog vending machine was set up in a park in central London to see how the dogs would react to this canine experiment.
As you can imagine, it didn't take the dogs long to figure out how to get a bowl of free food. The dogs were encouraged to pull on a toy bone that was dangling from the top of the dog house-shaped machine. Once the dogs pulled on the bone, a ball was launched through the roof that sent the dogs running across the park to fetch it.
Much to the pets' delight, once they dispensed the ball into a shoot they were rewarded with a bowl of fresh dog food. This vending machine is an amazing marketing idea from the pet food brand, that surely dogs and their owners will enjoy.
