When it comes to pets, dogs are sooooo much better than cats in all ways but one: they don’t really care where they take a crap. You take them for a walk and they will go out of their way to drop a fresh, juicy turd at their earliest convenience. If you are civically minded, that means pulling out a plastic bag and trying to scoop up the poop without touching it (not as hard as it sounds, trust me) – or you could leave it there and risk fines and scorn… or you could spend $100 and carry around a ridiculous looking dog dung vacuum from Hammacher Schlemmer.

The Dog Dung vacuum features a battery-powered 30,000-RPM motor that can get 50 suctions out of a single 12-hour charge.
