Sorry but it looks so stupid.. poor doggies.

I've always thought that the dignity lost when handling a pet's excrement with your hands was non-transferable. This switches the indignity to the perpetrator. Poopetrator?

Yeah, I don't think I could do this to a dog, but I'm not sure I could handle hot dog poop with my hands either. (Baby poop, on the other hand...)

If my dog happens to leave an Oops outside of the yard, I pick it up using a plastic bag. I don't know that that counts as "using my hands" or not, but it's about the same as handling the poo with the trap bag.

I don't think that I could touch it without the bag. At that point, I'm not near a bathroom to wash my hands anytime soon and that would be unpleasant. To say the least.

So where is the pee trap? Seems you still have to walk the critter

Not necessarily. You could equip your dog with a stadium pal.

David Sedaris gave the definitive take on these in an essay he then read on Letterman. I can only hope he decides to take on the Pootrap.

I know - but it's still hot and gross, even through a plastic bag. Did the pootrap show how to clean it out? (site is down at the moment)

I thought the Pootrap was disposable plastic bags.

I keep replying to this thread in part because it amuses me to see it on the list of "new posts".

Honestly? You stick your hand inside a grocery bag, grab the poo and turn the bag inside out and tie it off. Done in mere seconds. And on the bright side, you don't have to wipe your dog's butt.*

(*-not that it hadn't happened on occasion, but as a general rule of thumb, not necessary, as it is when changing a diaper)

You could handle it.

I'm sorry, but picking up dog poop with a poop bag is not a big deal. Just do it, people and stop wasting money on hideous contraptions!
