@Fanboy1217: Wow, that's a Youtube video of a Youtube video. Somewhere out there someone's getting ready to make a \"Yo dogg, we heard you like...\" joke.
@Real Cheese Flavor: Yo dawg, we heard you like YouTube so we put a YouTube video in your YouTube video.

It's bad enough for my dog that she needs to be seen in public with me. Why would I subject her to this embarrassment?

@White Speed Receiver: i have 2 dogs and my older one can't have anyone around when she is pooping. i have her on a 6ft leash that is long enough for her to do her business. My other dog can't be in the yard either. i have to take the little one in first and then take the older one back out. it's a quirk, but it's a funny one.
A sick and twisted part of me would love to see how big the one for my neighbor's English Mastiff would have to be. Would look like a 30gallon kitchen trash bag behind that one...

I just started eating lunch when I saw that picture. I'm not hungry anymore.
Anyone want a ham sandwich?

This is the most very wrongest thing I've seen in a very, very long time.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-469751-100x100.png\")
Seriously, people. You bring a sandwich bag. When the dog poops, you put your hand in the bag, pick up the poop, and turn the bag inside-out as you remove your hand. Tie up the bag and dispose of it at your soonest opportunity. Is it that damn hard?

@EdnaLegume: You clearly don't live where it gets insanely cold in the winter.
Some people look forward to picking up poop.

@bornonbord: What you say is true: Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I've thought to myself when Winter camping, \"If only a grizzly bear would show up and crap on my hands right now...\", I'd be a millionaire.
A *stinky* millionaire, but a millionaire nonetheless.
@EdnaLegume:
this is exactly what grosses me out the most so I put a paper towel in the bag before I use it to pick up the poop. No warm squishy feeling.
@HurtsSoGood: i have no issue with cleaning it up. My issue is hoping my bag does not have a hole in it.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-426969-100x100.png\")
@HurtsSoGood: Note to self - place hand in bag before picking up poop.
Seriously, though, completely agree.

@HurtsSoGood: i buy biodegradable plastic poop bags this way they don't last for eternity with my dogs poop
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-762676-100x100.png\")
...sorry to burst your bubble, but when your biodegradable plastic bags get buried in the landfill, they last as long as a regular plastic bag.
@Oranges w/ Cheese misses her boyfriend who's in michigan: Do other countries have dog curbing laws? I was under the impression that America is quirky in forcing citizens to pick up dog shit.
@bricklayer: Oh yes they do. In Switzerland where I live, you must always always pick up your dog poop. Even out in the country or in the woods, one is never to leave poop. They also supply poop bags in dispensers at every walking path and containers for the filled bags. These are good bags, photo-degradable and always 100% no holes.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-389492-100x100.png\")
@TacoChuck: i hope the dispensers are opaque or bags in remote areas might start degrade before you get to use them
@TacoChuck: I moved to Colorado and found a poop-bag dispenser for the first time ever. I thought it was the neatest thing until I realized that even with the dispenser and a trash can, people in my apartment complex were still too danged lazy to clean up after their dogs--especially the ones with larger breeds.
...that area was so ironically filthy and poop-laden that even my dog wanted nothing to do with it.
/thank god I no longer live in that complex
@bricklayer: My husband nearly vomits if he feels the warmth of the poo through the plastic bag. What a wimp! Me, no problem. Scoop it, tie the bag and go on your way.
I know if I even tried to strap that poo catcher on my dog he'd refuse to walk. REFUSE.
@Ihaveasmartpuppy: They have scoopers for that. Sure you have something extra to drag around, but you just pick it up with the claw and dump it in the bag. Diarrhea is also much less of a hassle, and a hole in the bag won't leave you feeling disgusted.

I don't know what seems to be more embarassing: this, or Snuggie for dogs.
Damn, I sent this to Gizmodo, and they said it wasn't gadgety enough.
@GitEmSteveDave_♥'sRenegadeIrishman: I Call BS (or maybe \"DS\" LAWL). It's probably just because of the \"taste test\" week thing, I think dog excrement and dog excrement-related paraphernalia is on an unofficial hiatus.

Pretty sure I tried to design this in 3rd grade or so, but as I was working with whatever materials I could find (IE, old telephone coil cord that doesn't hold on particularly tightly) and a wiggly corgi (shown at about 30 seconds at an angle where I can't see if they have a thing on, but unlikely since the clip right before had a guy fitting the straps over his dogs tail), my device never got off the ground.
My mom never had faith in me D: I could be rich now D:

I respect my dog way to much to do that to her.

Yes, what every pet owner wants to look at all day long, a low-tech colostomy bag for Fido.
\"And your pets will love it too!\"
Oh, I don't think so.

OK, maybe I'm going to be blasted for saying this, but I can see a certain appeal to it in big cities. It can sometimes be very difficult to find places for a dog to do its business, and worse yet, it can be hard to clean everything properly every time.
While the execution of this device is a bit... poor, I can see the upside when taking a dog out for a walk in January in NYC.
That said, it's goofy as hell and probably as likely to take off as the Comfort Wipe.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1020806-100x100.png\")
if I tried to get this on my dog...
1- he would refuse to walk in it. He would spin in circles with the look of \"WHAT IS THIS THING ON MY ASS?!\"
2- with my luck- and my dog's skill- he'd MISS the bag entirely, and I'd have to deal with removing a poop covered ass-harness from a dog that won't stop spinning in circles.

@cash_da_pibble: +1 for the laugh factor; -1 for that laugh factor making me feel pain (I was reading this in the hospital after having surgery and it hurts to laugh, cough, or sneeze)!
@cash_da_pibble: Darn you for making me stifle my laughter in the middle of my computer lab at school!!
Actually, as stupid as it seems.. It's not. Walking a dog outside, yes, super stupid. Grab a bag and pick it up, I agree. However, I have a 13 yr old dog that has a nerve disorder. He can't feel it til one's in the chamber so to speak. He can only feel as it's coming out or very rarely just before. It means frequent bathroom breaks, but there are times where he has to be left alone. There are accidents that happen, and when he's sleeping as well. Imagine yourself not being able to feel anything until it's coming out, how would you feel?
I actually saw something very similar in pitch men when it first started and have been looking all over for something like this. Was going to get some nylon and make myself one, but now I'm happy I saw this.
I would never use this, but it would be so much easier when my dog has diarrhea. It's just impossible to clean up.
That said, the bag would need to be much bigger and I could only do this a 3Am when no one would see us.
Do they have one for humans?
I'm planning a trans-Pacific flight and I really hate the confined spaces of airline lavatories, you see.
Pampers for pooches ?
Ouch . That harness doesn't seem that comfortable or even practical . And how much per baggie ?
...for the first time in recorded history, I can confidently and accurately reply: \"a shitload.\"

OK, I had this idea about 2 years ago...But for toddlers.
I felt it was not good to be siting in their poop, or have to poop with something 1 inch away from their butt. (How uncomfortable)
So, I came up with the idea for Diaper Tails.
Diapers with lion print, zebra print, tiger print..... and each one had a \"Tail\" where the poop would go..away from the baby, and could even be torn off without changing the whole diaper.
Just fold a velcro flap back over or something.
I feel like suing! lol
PS, My wife always insisted that would be disgusting and nobody would want that.....but Im also sure Billy Mays could have moved shiploads (no pun intended) of them.
I think that is the most I have ever heard the word 'poop' in an infomercial.

How many car accidents will the use of this device cause from VERY distracted drivers???
I wonder if people would stop to take pictures of the dog and his/her device?

So, is that a reusable bag, or what?

Pets love it, too? Have the marketers taken a survey among dogs? Where do they get this info? Looks like bondage gear to me.

There's a reason I have only cats. They would be mortified by this.

Yhea that looks like custom removable bag. Wonder if its for reuse or they charge out the wazoo for replacements
Suddenly scooping my cats' poo twice a day doesn't seem nearly as bad or humiliating for either one of us.

Looks like a bondage kit for dogs.
I got a feeling that baggie won't stay on once the butt dragging starts...

Wow, dog owners do a shocking amount of anthropomorphizing when it comes to their dogs. A dog will gladly HUMP YOUR LEG IN PUBLIC, EAT ANYTHING OFF THE GROUND (including shit and dead animals) and will sniff any other animal's butt with glee, but it somehow will get \"embarrassed\" when faced with something like this? I hope y'all aren't serious. That said, this looks very involved and overly complex with something that's much easier solved with a baggie and a quick pick-up...

I saw a dog with a plastic bag sticking out of its butt in the spring of 2008 in Montreal. Was doubled over laughing for 5 min afterwords.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-247457-100x100.png\")
I think I laughed the most when he said that it was easy to \"install on your dog.\"
considering that when my dog is done if there's anything stuck that he can't shake off he tries to bolt back into the house and scrape his butt on my carpet - i see this as a disaster waiting to happen. also, if it makes a rustling noise he'd run away from the scary thing until he passed out from exhaustion.

I'm sorry, but \"poopies\" is called being a responsible dog owner, if you don't want the poopies, don't get the dog. Sheesh.
Mad magazine did this about 30 years ago.

How does an idea like this get to market? There has to be so much planning and money invested and whatnot. How come not a single person involved with this said \"you know, this might actually be kind of a stupid idea?\"
@dragonfire81: i'm not sure if the IDEA is stupid, but maybe the application of said idea. i did wonder aloud why my dog couldn't have one of those poop catcher things that horses have when hooked up to hansom cabs.....
@dragonfire81: I've often wondered the same thing about the giant Jesus on I-75 just north of Cincinnati.
