The technique of the present invention relates to an animal excrement collection and storage system used in connection with the collection and storage of animal excrement. More specifically, the system relates to a retractable animal rope device combined with a bag-type container and a removable storage container.

For a long time, there have been ropes for manipulating and holding pets during walks, or for tying pets to objects. Devices for controlling, controlling, and limiting the distance a pet or animal can walk around from a bound point or person are well known in the art. In general, these devices have one single purpose of restraining or manipulating the animal. One problem associated with such devices is that the rope is occupied by at least one hand of the user, which makes it impossible to easily carry other items that may be useful or necessary for the user. Therefore, pet accessories such as ball throwers, excrement bag containers, and / or storage containers can be left behind. Therefore, while a person is walking a pet, some items tend to be very urgently needed but not at hand.

The pet owner takes the pet to the park for a walk. Generally, when exposed, the animal may defecate and the companion will be responsible for collecting and disposing of any of the feces. In addition, it should be noted that some local governments have rules that require animal companions to collect one of the feces and dispose of it properly. Failure to follow these rules can result in a ticket or fine. Therefore, many pet owners follow the law and / or the goodwill of personal responsibility for the collection and disposal of excrement deposited in public spaces by their pets.

Picking up pet excrement can be a tedious and potentially harmful task, and pet owners bring a bag with the excrement and then a bag filled with excrement. Need to carry. The process of collecting pet excrement is generally done by hand, placing the hand inside the bag and using the bag-covered hand to grab the excrement and surround the excrement. Including rolling the bag as. After collecting the excrement in the bag, the pet owner then needs to put a proper trash can for proper disposal of the excrement. During this time, pet owners are required to carry a bag containing pet excrement, which may rupture, thereby across the pet owner, pet, ground, or in the car. Pet excrement leaks.

In addition, pet owners throw the ball at the pet, and the pet prefers to chase, retrieve, and play with the ball, thereby providing training to the pet. Many pet owners prefer to use retractable ropes that vary the distance the dog can hang around depending on the environment, and the pet owner uses a ball thrower to repeatedly throw the ball. By doing so, he prefers to throw the ball over long distances without stretching his arms. Having a retractable pet rope in one hand and a ball thrower in the other hand results in no free hand, and therefore there is a need for a combination of combined functions and a pet rope.
