OK, that’s just wrong. For years, I’ve seen similar devices on urban horses and thought, 'Now why don’t they make those for dogs?" Now I know. Because it looks ridiculous. ---

So how are dogs supposed to greet each other now? Dog 1: Did you meet the new dog? What’s he like? Dog 2: Don’t know. He was wearing a mask. ---

I remember way back in the day, maybe even before Jon Stewart took over, the Daily Show did a piece on a woman who invented something very much like this. The demonstration dog clearly hated it. Didn’t catch on back then, won’t likely catch on now. ---

I wouldn’t inflict that on my worst enemy’s ugliest dog. They should have called it the “Dignity Trap” instead. ---

The demonstration dog clearly hated it. Didn’t catch on back then, won’t likely catch on now. I remember seeing a piece on the Daily Show about a woman who invented a _bird_ diaper; was there one with a dog diaper too? ---

I don’t know if I want any product that needs to be “installed”, as they put it, on my dog. ---

> [@Face\_Intentionally\_Left\_Blank](#): > > I don’t know if I want any product that needs to be “installed”, as they put it, on my dog. My feelings exactly. Not to mention: how is this so much better than picking it up? Seems worse, to me…a lot of potential for mess to “rub off” or “splash back” or in any number of other ways become more nasty and messy. And finally: why Cafe Society? ---

Yeah; I plugged a few search terms into the archives though and came up blank - dog poop, dog diaper, poop invention, stuff like that. Nothing. I remember her demo dog was a Doberman type dog. It was completely traumatized while squatting, because “OMG I’M POOPING AND IT’S NOT GOING AWAY FROM MY BUTT AAAAH MOMMY MAKE IT GO AWAY” If I recall correctly, it wasn’t disposable either. I guess you were just supposed to empty it out and wash it or something. ---
