Doggy Slide

Ella

Age 10Newcastle, U.K.Apr 2018

The Doggy slide is for helping to wash dogs. It saves you having to lift them into the bath and also makes it more fun for dogs who may not enjoy bath time. It's made of plastic and metal. It might make children more keen to volunteer to wash their dog rather than leaving it for mams and dads.

Little Inventors team says

Clever thinking Ella, Washing a muddy dog is not an easy task, I think a slide would certainly make it fun and effortless. Your dog would also learn some new skills like climbing small steps and balance as they slide down. I wonder if you have considered inventing something to stop the splash getting all over the bathroom floor? like a shower curtain with a hole in for the slide. Well done Ella, by 2030 fusty dog smells will be a thing of the past.

I need the moving toilet, the cup bowl and the dog slide in my life. How can these not already exist? I always knew the world would be better with children in charge. I think a perfect day would involve summoning a toilet whilst entertaining my dog on his slide and slurping an exciting mix of tea and cereal AT THE SAME TIME. Genius.
