PooTrap
Walking the dog is relaxing until cleanup duty—enter the PooTrap, a harness holding a plastic bag under your pup’s tail to catch droppings mid-air. Commercials showed jubilant owners strolling bag-free while sparkly graphics highlighted the “hygienic breakthrough.” Dogs, supposedly grateful, wag merrily with dangling sacks swaying beneath them.
Reality bites. Most dogs freeze, buck, or sprint in circles trying to escape the rear-end hammock. Accuracy is hit-or-miss (literally), and after one “event,” you still have to remove and dispose of the sagging pouch. Meanwhile, other walkers stare—unable to decide if they should laugh or call animal control. The PooTrap fails the dignity test for canine and human alike, proving some chores are better handled the old-fashioned way: with a bag and a quick stoop.
