Finally: An app that finds someone to pick up your dog’s poop

The app, which began being marketed this week despite not being up and running yet, is supposed to work pretty much like Uber.

You are then free to leave; a scooper — the driver in the Uber analogy — comes to do the clean up.

Its quirky video ad and motto — “Your dog’s poop in someone else’s hands” — have left some reporters skeptical. That’s prompted the people behind the app to issue a statement saying they’re fine with the doubts: All the better for spreading the word and attracting more investors.
