You can still buy those little pellets at firework shops, they call them snakes.Vanjoe said:This a weird one, a dog haveing a dump, I am still unsure what this is used for, there is a clear opening from the base up to the tail? ...
I just registered to reply to this!
My father had this exact dog! It was a cheap metal casting . It came with a little box of pellets that were inserted into the hole (less than an 1/8 inch dia.) in the dog's back end and then lit with a match. The pellet then expanded in a long curling manner that became a pile under the rear of the dog.
My father was in the Korean war so I think it may have been a souvenir or something he picked up in one of the many drinking establishments he frequented.
I don't see your location...... did you find this near Rochester,NY ?
