Remember the Hyperdog Tennisball Launcher we showed you nearly two years ago? Well, this slingshot-looking contraption is just like that, only four times more powerful and at least ten times wackier.

The appropriately named Hyperdog Ball Launcher launches tennis balls up to 220 feet at speeds that I hope are safe for dogs and innocent passersby. Made of surgical tubing, it has a collapsible arm for easy storage and some sort of "hands-free pickup for a slobber-free fetch session" feature.

For just $29.95, the Ball Launcher may be an affordable way for your dog to shed some pounds, but the opposite may be true for you. No throwing, standing, or bending down necessary? Sounds like a surefire way to pack on a few to me.
