It’s been a while since I came up with a WTF Wednesday post. Mostly because it got too depressing seeing all the stupid things that people were doing to animals, but this one was just too hard to pass up. (Note this photo came across my Facebook page, the photo was found on techcrunch)
Say it with me. WHAT THE FUCK?
Now listen, I don’t like picking up dog crap any better than the rest of you, but when the day comes where I think harnessing my dog up and strapping a bag on its ass is easier than bending down to pick up poop, take my dog away from me and add me to the do not adopt list.
If this doesn’t scream, “YOU SHOULDN’T OWN A DOG” I don’t know what does. Really, you still have to deal with shit, why not just save yourself a five minute dog wrestle and bend over and pick up the shit? Besides any dog I know is not going to stand still while I strap a bag on its ass.
NOT HAPPENING.
I’ve been told that dogs don’t experience embarrassment the way people do, but I have a feeling that if I strapped a bag to my dog’s ass, I’d be the one embarrassed, not to mention the potential lawsuits.
Driver: There I was officer, driving down the street when I saw this dog with a bag strapped to its ass. Of its own accord my head whipped around and I never even saw that parked car, I’m just grateful the pedestrian jumped out of the way of my careening car.
Officer: What do you mean, it had a bag on its ass? Was it wrapped around its legs? Did it swallow it and was trying to push it out?
Driver: No officer! The bag was to CATCH the poop.
Officer: Ma’am, have you been drinking? I know it’s only 9:00 AM but where are coming from, was there liquor there?
Driver: Officer, I swear, the dog had a bag strapped to its ass. Like harnessed and intentionally, Strapped. To. Its. Ass. Oh, oh, there it is, look over there!
Officer: Summabitch, I hope the cruiser cam is catching this, it will help your case stand up in court. Where the Fu… is my ticket book? That’s cruelty to animals right there.” Hits button on his mike, “Dispatch? Send animal control over to ……they’re gonna have to see this shit to believe it.”
Don’t get any ideas Mama, I will bite you.
That to me is the epitome of laziness. I cannot believe that someone actually invented this and I have to tell you, if I EVER see a dog with this strapped to its ass, the likelihood of me going West Virginia Back-woods Hood-rat on that owner, are probably pretty damn good.
Whoo Hoo
Because my little badge at the top of the page says WTF/Whoo Hoo, I am going to share some exciting news in the dog world. Minnesota has become the first state in the U.S., and first political body in the world, to mandate that laboratory dogs and cats be adopted when the research is over! The Beagle Freedom Project was instrumental in making this happen!! Personally I’d like to see them end animal testing all together, but hey it’s a start!
You crack me up, Jodi! I snorted reading this!
WTF is right! You won’t convince us here in this house that dogs can’t feel embarrassment if they show they feel “special” (after just being groomed) by prancing around when asked, “Who’s the pretty boy? Just how pretty do you look?” MY dogs WOULD feel embarrassed–even more than I would feel like a moron–if I actually considered something like that. Dogs are smarter than those inventors. They’d at least be embarrassed by having a human THAT ignorant. Did you go check out the Youtubes on this thing? I couldn’t resist. I just had to see what people like that looked like for real. I actually think it might be dangerous for their joints after watching a black lab walk VERY unnaturally with the thing attached.
Oh. My. God! You have got to be kidding me! There just ain’t no way I would stand for that! I’d be on the phone to AC instantly! A bag, strapped to a harness, to catch the poop. I don’t even want to imagine the moron who came up with that one!! My girls would bite anyone who even tried to put that thing on them, and I would fight to the death their right to bite!
On the Woo-hoo part tho, that’s a great start considering all the anti-animal legislation I’ve heard about over the last few years! But I’m with you — animal testing needs to be outlawed altogether, on a federal basis, not just state-by-state.
I’m going to get one FOR MYSELF! That way I will never have to worry about using a public restroom! Or washing my hands! My worry is: how I will disguise the lump in the BACK of my draws! OMG!! Will wonders never cease?!
OMD no way!!!!!! Mind you it did raise a chuckle over here. Glad that the animals must be rehomed but really wish they would not use them for testing at all. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Just testing for comment issues.
What a stupid contraption. I am with you on the WTF!
I saw this and thought the same thing. I also thought, this has to be a joke. Would someone really do that?
OMD! I have seen these online somewhere!!!!! How strange is that!! I would never go through the ridiculousness of hooking a bag up to my dog!!!!!! Crazy people!
Yay for the lab dogs!!!! I heard about that as well. It’s awesome news!!!!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! OMD! This is so WRONG!! Yet … maybe …
I remember that this company was looking for an American distributor for their poop catcher. I assume you won’t be applying for the privilege.
That is seriously wrong! Not sure if it is the same or worse than people that walk their dog while driving their car with the leash out the window. Just WRONG! I read about the Beagles yesterday and it made us proud to live in MN for once. I guess some political brains thawed out and found common sense and decency!
Oh my God!!!! BOL

Can you believe that anyone would stoop to the level of harnessing a bag to their dog’s butt and not stoop a bit lower and just pick that crap up?!?! Your post is hilarious! Bravo for the new legislation! I support NO testing on animals!
WTF indeed?! And hooray for the Whoo-hoo news! I’m with you of course on wishing they’d stop altogether, but yes, this is at least a step forward!
Hi Y’all!
I’m with you Delilah! You know though, in the cities that have carriage horses, they frequently have laws requiring the horses wear something similar so they don’t mess the streets. Can’t risk the women in designer shoes or men in Italian hand made loafers step in “it”. BOL!!!
Y’all come by now,

I posted up that poop trap once on my scoop the poop blog, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it either. Congrats on Minn and the beagle freedom act!
Wow! I know that none of my dogs would tolerate that device. I watched the Beagle Freedom Project’s most recent video, and cried…
That woo hoo is brilliant news, like you I’d love to see an end to animal testings but that is such a brilliant step in the right direction!! As for the ass bag thing…seriously… WTF. I’d like to say something insightful about it but I am slightly stunned and in complete agreement with you! I’m just checking the diary to make sure it isn’t April 1st!!
Oh geez, the poor dog – what an embarassment!
He he – what a thought! Ridiculous though 😀
HAHA WTF indeed! Great idea for Wednesdays!
LOL! I saw that on facebook and I immediately thought that my Lab would find some way to turn around and use it as a feed bag. Ewww.
WTG Beagle Freedom Project and Minnesota!
