Canine waste collection device and disposal method

Abstract

A canine waste collection appliance and waste disposal method are disclosed. The collection appliance includes a handle connected to a frame. The frame includes a right portion, a left portion and an end portion. The right portion includes a proximal end and a distal end. The left portion includes a proximal end and a distal end. An end portion is provided intermediate the distal end of the right portion and the distal end of the left portion. The end portion includes a thin slot thereon. A paper element, such as a paper towel would be partially threaded through the thin slot and folded about the end portion. The paper towel would be also folded about the right portion and the left portion and the excess paper towel would be wound about the connection of the handle with the right portion and the left portion. The dog, in preparation for defecation, rounds its back, then squats and defecates. Prior to the defecation, the appliance is placed on the ground to permit the waste to fall into the paper towel held thereon. The paper towel is released from the appliance and the waste and the used paper towel may be flushed down a toilet. In this case the waste material would be dumped from the paper towel into the toilet bowl followed by the paper towel. By flushing the toilet the waste and paper towel would be disposed of in a simple and environmentally friendly manner. Alternatively, the paper towel and waste may be disposed of in a conventional manner.
