Designer dunnies
I know it’s April Fools Day and this sounds very silly, but maybe it is serious.
Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their companions to their very own toilet.
The developer of a new “doggy toilet”, a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man’s best friend.
The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London.
“This is only a pilot program, but we hope to roll out 200 to 300 of these toilets in one year,” Hans van de Pos said, who has patented the device.
