There is no way that is comfortable!

So I originally thought this thing was a joke, or a Saturday Night Live skit, then while I was watching TV this weekend, I saw it... Poo Trap, the Magic Poop Collector. The newest and most ridiculous way to embarrass yourself and your dog in public.

The Poo Trap is a complex looking body harness that holds a poop bag right under your dog’s tail. Sounds a little useful, until you start thinking about the fact that you don’t always know when your dog needs to...eh hem...poop. So, to prevent any oops or poops, your dog would have to wear that thing around almost all the time. Also, dog’s with tails that don’t naturally point into the air would most likely feel a little, shall we say, discomfort.

Picking up dog poo isn’t the most glamorous activity that’s for sure, and I don’t want to do it as much as you, but the Poo Trap is just a silly gimmick product. The infomercial makes it sound like using a poop sack or device is messy and ineffective...but I ask you this As Seen On TV People, how have we been doing it for the last 20 years?

Sorry, I know this is the second time this week I have blogged about poop, but I just couldn’t bare the thought of any poor dogs having to wear this girdle-catheter-type-thing around and risk the inevitable humiliation. I may be giving dogs human-like emotions here, but trust me, if your dog was forced to wear a Poo Trap and happened to have opposable thumbs, he would most likely take it off and “Oops” on the contraption on purpose.

Here's the priceless infomercial:

I bet if you call soon, they will DOUBLE your order. Or just call BaxterBoo, avoid dog humiliation all together, and order some waste bags.
