ABSTRACT:
A device for picking up and removing dog droppings and the like including a pair of clamshell shaped members each having a concaved inner surface which face one another and held for pivotal movement near spaced first side margins of the clamshell shaped members by a biased hinge connection therebetween. Elongated spaced arcuate fingers are formed into each clamshell shape member which extend from a second side margin to a central portion of each clamshell shaped member. Two opposing spaced handles each extend from the first side margin, when held and squeezed together, separate the second side margins defined by the spaced distal ends of the fingers. A flexible disposable bag of thin plastic is operably positionable between the opened clamshell spaced members, the bottom of the bag furthest into the space therebetween, an open end portion of the bag turned inside out and positioned against an exterior convex surface of each clamshell shaped member, including the fingers. Retaining loops formed at each corner of the open end of the bag supportively engage around holding tabs which extend in either direction from each end margin of at least one clamshell shaped member.
