Are dogs better than cats? Or vice versa? The debate may have just ended because JTM Service has developed a washing machine that can be operated by support dogs to help those with disabilities.

The machines are bark-activated, since you know, dogs can't really push buttons.

The dogs are trained to do everything from strip bed sheets to loading them into the machine and starting the washing cycle. A foot activated pad will unlock the washer's door while a short rope lets them open it.

The dog then gives a little bark when everything's ready to go. Check out the demo for the washing machine below: [YouTube via Taxi]
