Will Dragons Turn Up Their Noses At Poo Pod?

A new gadget from the UK pet industry is about to be laid before the entrepreneurs of the Dragons' Den. The Poopod is an integrated dog lead handle, poobag dispenser and poo carrier. Will the Dragons smell money or just something unsavoury in the room? Find out later this evening on BBC 2.

The Poopod gives dog walkers a hideaway compartment in which to discreetly hide a freshly scooped bag of poo - lovely. According to the company, research revealed by Defra indicates that embarrassment about carrying a smelly, warm and squishy bag of dog poo is the reason given by 90% of those who still won't clean up after their dog.

Sue Bell, MD, Poopod will be joined by Bull Terrier, Ziggy to face the Dragon's for the ultimate test.
