(7) The large poop pockets are the major part of the one-piece saddle. These large poop pockets hang on each side of the dog's rib cage. The (8) flaps, that cover the large poop pockets (two of them) are cut on double folded fabric, stitched right sides together, tuned rights sides out, pressed and folded on the open end by inch, then stitched above the large poop pockets allowing approximately one-inch space on each side of the large poop pockets before stitching the flap to the main item. (9) The two flaps close with a manufactured closure. (10) The one-piece saddle (FIG. 1 & FIG. 4) are competed by stitching a bias binding around the total circumference of the item.
