Picking (up after) the Dogs

Lest you feel compelled later to wag your finger, allow me to begin with the admission that I tricked you to get you here.  The dogs to which the title refers are not underdogs in our customary reference.  I am telling you today a tale/tail of actual dogs.

There is a company in Knoxville, TN, BioPet Vet Lab, that has launched a new franchising venture call PooPrints.  Their business is...dog crap.  Here's how it works.
This $100 device is marketed
to vaccum up the evidence.
Provides up to 50 cleanups
 after a 12-hour charge.
  Includes 25 3-lb.-capacity bags.
Ugh.

An apartment buidling or homeowner association signs up for their service. All resident canines are required to submit a cheek swab to establish DNA identity. When an unclaimed pile of you-know-what is discovered, some lucky soul on the building or grounds staff takes a crap sample and mails it to the poop sleuths, who provide the identify of the author for a fee of $60. 

This is when the s&%# hits the fan.  Conviction with DNA evidence will be a certainty, assuring that the random crapper and its owner are collared and sent straight to the dog house. 

Nothing to do with football, I just had to share the story. 

That is all.
