I created a brush that can pet all 3 of my dogs at once using one arm. I chose this project because my dogs jealous if they are not getting pets at the same time. My dogs were a bit nervous at first but they got more comfortable the more I bushed them. This project is important because I love my dogs equally.

This project demonstrates creativity, problem-solving skills, and genuine engagement with engineering design. Excellent effort and thoughtful innovation!
This is a fantastic example of “Brilliant” engineering! I love how you identified a problem in your daily chore routine and designed a solution that benefited both you and your dogs. It is wonderful to see how you moved from your first prototype to a second one with a handle to make it more functional. Your reflection on the “Limitations” of the brush, noting it might not work for very large breeds, shows great honesty and scientific integrity. Your dogs, Flor, Bony, and Flika, are lucky to have such a thoughtful owner.
