The high chair is otherwise known as a Bailey Chair. It's a simple design, a box with three sides to keep Odis contained and with an adjustable attachment on the fourth side, a de facto table for the dog to rest his paws and keep upright. Odis starts with the table higher up when he's eating and they lower it shortly after, still keeping him inclined, but not bolt upright for the next 20-30 minutes while he digests.
"I don't think he knows anything different, we got him when he was eight weeks old and we've had to feed him this way ever since," Mayfield said. "He gets in [the chair] kind of himself."
In true Mayfield family fashion, Odis' chair is homemade and was a family product. It's a fine piece of handiwork, complete with brown leather upholstery lining the interior to make it comfortable for Mayfield's special needs dog.
Scott and his father Andy built the two chairs in Andy's workshop in Larkspur, while the leather upholstery was Jane's - Scott's mom - contribution. Scott also stained it, a finishing touch on what was, like so many other projects, a family affair.
