Superstitions Only Dog People Understand

It’s Friday the 13th and while most people are out here avoiding ladders and giving black cats the side-eye, dog parents know the real curses. If you’ve ever found yourself without a bag while your dog starts to squat you know that bad walk luck is very real.

Here are a few superstitions only dog people truly understand.

The Poop Ghosting
You saw the squat. You were ready.
But when you go to scoop? Nothing.
Did they fake it? Did it vanish? Will I end up on the NextDoor app? Terrifying.

The Second Poop Curse
You picked it up. You tossed the bag. You felt victorious.
But then, like clockwork, your dog stops again and you have no bag, no backup, and no dignity.

The Trash Can Mirage
There it is. A trash can in the distance. Salvation.
You hustle over, only to find it’s locked, overflowing, or decorative.

The Judgy Window Watcher
Your dog picks the exact spot in front of your least favorite neighbor’s house to drop a deuce.
You make eye contact.
You scoop.
You die a little inside.

The Leaky Bag of Doom
You thought it felt warm. Then…oh god, why is it wet?
That’s not condensation.
It’s time to rethink your life choices.

The Fix: Pööt
We can’t exorcise every dog walk demon, but we can definitely help you stay ready.
One pod. Multi-poop savior. Clean hands. Fewer disasters.
Consider it your anti-curse charm.

Happy Friday the 13th y’all. Drop any other scary dog walk curses if you’ve got ‘em!
