Abstract: A device to prevent feces from a pet from touching the ground, comprising an extendable rod that extends freely to a fully extended position when the rod is pointed approximately 30 degrees downwardly. A catch ring is rotatably attached to the rod and can be frictionally fixed at a selected catch ring angle, so that the catch ring can rotate from a closed position parallel to and abutting against the rod, to a plurality of open positions and frictionally fixed in a selected one of the open positions. A bag can be draped across the catch ring to be retained on said catch ring. The user can extend the rod to the fully extended position and place said catch ring retaining said bag in an open position against the ground, and then press the catch ring against the ground to adjust the catch ring angle so that the catch ring (retaining the bag) is approximately flat on the ground. The bag retained in the catch ring can be slid along the ground to be under the pet before the feces is dropped.
