Dogs have become an integral part of families around the world and in one recent incident, a pet parent designed a ‘selfie booth’ in a bid to make her little canine as happy as possible. While taking to Twitter, Simone Giertz, who is a YouTuber and an inventor, shared three images of her pooch, Scraps, sitting inside a tiny-box like structure with a paddle in front of her. Giertz even shared a short clip of the dog entering the photo booth with a YouTube link which showed her building the structure from the scratch.

In the clip, Giertz explained the mechanism of the photo booth. She said that when a dog enters the booth and places its paws on the pedals, it triggers a camera which, in turn, activates a treat dispensing machine, leaving the pooch happy and the pet parent with a selfie of their dog. The YouTuber built the fully automated photo booth from scraps and said that she made the machine for ‘dog selfies’, something she had not seen before.

One user wrote, “Let’s be honest, we all needed this kind of positivity and wholesomeness today.
