Abstract A device for receiving waste products of a dog has a harness to be securely placed on the dog. The harness has two elongated straps, each adapted to extend from the top of the hind end of the dog, under a respective leg to a buckle on the side of the dog. A normally flat opaque polyethylene bag having an opening and two side flaps disposed about the opening is connected to the harness in a position to receive the waste products of the dog. The straps are advantageously made from a vinyl plastic material and the bag is connected to the straps by means of two-sided adhesive pressure transfer tape which is releasably connected to the straps.
