ABSTRACT:
An animal waste collection system (10) designed for sanitary use consists of a hollow shaft (14), handle (12), light (70), a pair of resilient, curved arms (22, 24) and a plurality if self sealing bags (40). The operator of the device (10) initially loads a plastic bag (40) onto arms (22, 24) before walking the dog. When the animal shows signs of excreting, the bag (40) is placed under the rear of the animal to intercept the feces. Once the animal is finished excreting, the operator partially retracts the arms (22, 24), closing the bag (40), and walks to a disposal receptacle where the arms (22, 24) are then fully retracted and the sealed bag (40) is released.
