But the days of having to pick up after your dog could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a bizarre new gadget.
The £22 ($29) Piqapoo is a soft clip that holds a collection bag, and clips onto your dog's tail, collecting waste so you don't have to.

Uhm, no.
Ridiculous. If you have to do that to a dog, you shouldn’t bother having one.
Don’t worry, dogs aren’t embarrassed by anything. The hard part will be to keep other dogs from trying to eat from the bag.
Let me get this straight - so Spot goes through all that effort to find a location to place his ‘mark’ and the a-hole owner sticks that contraption that totally negates the effort and Ferdinand, who doesn’t have to deal with that contraption (not to mention how silly it looks), gets to keep his territory.
Yea, RIGHT, as if I would ever subject my dog to that HUMILIATION.
They should design it so it looks like a nutsack, it might boost the neutered dog’s self esteem.
My sentiments exactly. These poor animals are getting neurotic as it is.
Could we put one on Hillary and Pelosi so they quit spewing money all around?
The one place where no dog should ever wear a piqapoo is in Moochelle’s garden.
I have an Aussie! No tail.
No, my dog would go crazy trying to yank it off. Inventor cannot be a dog owner.
It’s not that I think the dog can be embarrassed - though I think they can sometimes - it’s the unnecessary interference with its natural way of doing...things ;-)
I think it might cause behavioral issues, too.
If I was a dog, I would chew the living crap out of the La-Z-Boy belonging to anyone who did this to me.
That’s just something silly for silly people.
LOL! I can see you have owned dogs!
No. Best not to own a dog if that is such a bother.
This reminds me of that lady who tried to dress a pit bull in a too tight Christmas Sweater. The dog was not having it, and flipped out, chasing the family of three out to the front lawn. They had to lock him in the house and call for help.
nope- we just open the door and let our dog run through the 26 acres of woods to ‘find a spot’ to do his business- easy peasy- no mess
I don’t see the point. If it’s for when you walk the dog then it’s just plain laziness by the owner and the owner still has to deal with the poop. The only difference is the owner now has to wipe the poor embarrassed dog’s butt on top of dealing with the poop.
Not only that the owner now has to clean the fancy poop bag so it doesn’t smell up the apartment. I say apartment rather than house simply because a house would have a back yard for the pooch to do their business but knowing dogs like I do; they will poop while on a walk just to spread their poop scent sometimes even if they just pooped in the yard. How they manage that is a bit of a mystery to me at this point. I do know male dogs can use their pee sphincter muscle to pee just a little here and there to spread their scent far and while whereas a human male would have a hard time doing that. Even when the human male spreads their seed; they can’t do it again 20 more times on a half hour walk. ;) I bet some of the human females wish they could though....
ORRRRR; the owner can simply bring along a couple shopping bags or dedicated dog poop bags, pick up the poop when their dog does their business, throw the bag away at the nearest trash can, and avoid all that other hassle.
Then again, what do I know, I’ve only had the pleasure of being a partner to at least 20 dogs in my lifetime. I don’t like to say owner simply because my relationship with my dogs isn’t an owner/property kind of thing. They are my friends and we watch out for each other. If anything I’m simply the leader of the pack. Call it weird if you must but that kind of love and devotion is extremely rare among humans. Extremely rare. If you ever have it with a human; count yourself among the luckiest.
