The machine, which took the engineer two years to develop, proved immensely popular with Jerry the sausage dog.
Sadly, Jerry is now no longer with us, but his owner has posted this video of him enjoying the feat of engineering so that his memory will live on.
The hilarious video showing Jerry launching the ball from the machine and then running frantically after it has been loved and watched by millions.
One Youtube user said that Jerry's owner should cash in on his invention, and that he would 'make millions' if he started selling the product to other dog owners.
Others simply wanted to express their sadness that the energetic dog was no longer around.
Just look at that happy little tail!
