Benefits of technology

[0005]The present invention is a pet utility belt that comprises one or more belt mounted clips for holding a dog leash, a novel pouch holder for dispensing plastic bags with a central cavity for carrying plastic bags with dog waste. The pouch itself may be washable and may have sidewalls of varying thickness. The plastic bags may have twist ties or the like associated with them so that the plastic bags may be sealed with the dog waste securely within. While walking the dog, when the dog defecates, the user reaches into the pouch for a clean plastic bag, then places the waste into the bag by using the bag as a ‘glove’ or by using a dedicated tool (perhaps a large spoon, stick or the like). Once in the bag, the bag could be tied off or a twist tie or the like could be used to seal the ‘dirty’ bag. This waste filled bag would then be placed in the second larger pouch which has a hook and loop fastener to seal the opening.

Problems solved by technology

With the large amount of dogs in most communities, a problem of dog waste remaining in the parks, streets and public spaces developed.
