Abstract
A device, storable in a pocket or purse, containing two extendable arms, attached to each other at one end, which spread apart when extended due to spring action. In this extended position the arm tips and apex, each having a nubble, are in triangular arrangement so that a disposable bag can be stretchably attached over the nubbles at these three points, thus covering the fork arms and protecting them from soiling. In this method the bag is used as a receptacle for dog feces which is pushed into it with a small stick or other disposable material. After use the arms are pushed back into the handle of the device so that it can be discreetly stored.
