Multi-compartment bag useful for walking a dog
View Patent ↗A dog walking bag includes a central waste-holding compartment that is accessible from openings at the top end and bottom end of the compartment. The dog walking bag further includes a top flap, removably covering the top opening, and a bottom flap, removably covering the bottom opening. When using dog walking bag, a user deposits plastic waste bags containing animal waste (hereinafter “full waste bags”) into the central waste-holding compartment through the top opening. When a time arrives to empty the central waste-holding compartment of full waste bags, the bottom flap is manipulated to uncover the bottom opening, allowing the full waste bags to fall out of the central waste-holding compartment by force of gravity. In this way, a user is able to empty the central waste-holding compartment of full waste bags without having to touch or manually handle the full waste bags during the emptying process.
