http://www.ohmidog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dickybag.jpg (http://www.ohmidog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dickybag.jpg)With all the trouble dog poop seems to cause society (see Poop I (http://www.ohmidog.com/2010/05/12/poop-i-one-cranky-mans-idea-of-revenge/) and Poop II (http://www.ohmidog.com/2010/05/12/poop-ii-town-cancels-its-free-bag-program/)), it’s good to know that free enterprise is on the case.
From across the pond comes the Dicky Bag, an airtight, zip-able neoprene pouch designed to tote your nasty sack of dog poop to the nearest garbage receptacle in a clean and odor- free manner.
The Dicky Bag (http://www.dickybag.com)*was created by a husband and wife team that left the rat race in London and moved to Cornwall*to find a better life.
Barry Davies was an advertising account director, his wife a theatrical agent and operator of a dance and theater school. One of the first things they did after leaving the city was get a dog, leading them to quickly learn that ” along with all the good things a dog can bring to a family they also bring a lot of crap (and I mean that literally),” they say on their website.
“As responsible owners we always pick up our dog’s poo but are often then left with the problem of what to do with it then. There’s never a bin when you need one.”
The Davies, decided to create a hands-free, odor-free poop tote. Living in Newquay, a surfing hot spot, and home to many wetsuit shops, they*took their idea to a neoprene factory — neoprene being*lightweight, semi rigid and capable of forming an*airtight seal.
After some refinements to the prototype, they’ve introduced the Dicky Bag, which has*an airtight storage area for full bags, a dispensing area for clean bags and*room to store a spare roll of clean bags.
They call their product “the No. 1 answer to dog’s No. 2’s.”
