A portable combination scooper-container apparatus detachably secured vertically to an animal\s shoulder harness for toting animal waste and for collecting the waste from ground in the normal manner of a scoop when detached from the harness, comprising a container with a low front side and a high back side and having an open end and a closed end with the open end angled from the high back side to the lower front side as a scoop, means to detachably mount the container to the animal\s shoulder harness, a flat lid covering the container open end and pivotably mounted on the high back side of the container so the lid tends to remain closed over the open end by gravity and rotatable against and disposed opposite the container back side when the container is detached from the shoulder harness, such that the flat lid is then directed generally toward the container closed end and away from the open end with the flat lid between the high back side and the ground, unobstructive to the open end to fully expose the open end as a scoop, when the container back side is held close to the ground approximately parallel thereto in the normal mode of a scoop.
