Reply to a friend who wonders if they couldn't breed an animal that doesn't need to potty.
Actually Dick, few folks know this, but there was an effort to develop just such an animal for the blind. After many years of special breeding they finally brought forth one pup born with a mouth but no exit. They named him No Go. And even better, No Go's temperament was perfect for use as a Guide Dog. At the age of one, No Go was taken to a Nationally known dog training school and for the next year he was secretly trained. The reason I know of this dog is because a very close friend of mine was selected to receive this unique animal. Not only did No Go not go, but he hardly needed feeding. And we also learned that he did not need much exercise, which suited my friend to a "T".
But despite eating only small amounts, No Go grew rapidly. By the time my friend began training with him, No Go tipped the scales at over 150 pounds, and after the four week program was nearing its end, No Go was over five hundred pounds and barely able to get in and out the front door. In fact when the day finally arrived for them to leave for the airport, they could not get No Go through. Halfway out he became stuck. Pushing and pulling did not help one bit. Finally, in desperation the trainer took out a big old hat pin, telling my friend to get behind No Go and jab him with it. "That'll make him jump right out", he assured everyone. So my friend stepped up to No Go's backside, took a deep breath and jammed the hat pin in.
They say that my friend never knew what hit him, and it was a closed casket service. As for No Go, last anyone saw of him he was shooting straight for the Moon.

I wonder if it would be possible to develop a 'poopless' pet?
