The Stink of Success
Following up on my earlier post about SnoutHouse, here’s another interesting profile of other entrepreneurs making money from the backsides of dogs:
Armed with a little rake and pan, Grady Moorer walks in a gridlike pattern across the house’s expansive front yard like he’s mapping out a crime scene.“After a while you learn where the dog poops,” he says wisely. “They’re really creatures of habit. And you can always tell if there’s a visitor dog — the poop is a different color, consistency and shape.” Moorer, aka “ScooperDude,” has been scooping up dog excrement in Charlotte, N.C., in a professional capacity, since 2003. Prior to that he owned a construction business, and while surfing the Web for some tools came across Pooper-Scooper.com, an international directory of dog-waste removal services. Intrigued by the financial possibilities, Moorer invested in some advertising, slapped a ScooperDude sticker on his Ford pickup, and embarked on a new career.
“At first my wife thought I had lost my mind,” says Moorer, 56. “But then the money started rolling in, and she said, ‘Hey, this is pretty good.’”
