WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: A photographer’s £15,000 worth of camera equipment was covered in poo after a foster dog decided to use it as a toilet – and the viral video gained 25,000 likes
A mischievous mutt caused havoc by defecating all over a photographer’s camera equipment worth £15,000. Professional photographer Brian Binkert, 44, had left his gear in a bag in his home office.
However, one of his foster dogs decided to use the bag as a toilet after Brian inadvertently left the door open, resulting in an expensive mess. Brian’s video showcasing the smelly aftermath garnered 25,000 likes.
“We had only had the dog for one day when this happened,” Brian from San Diego, California, revealed to What’s The Jam. “I was in the middle of packing for a race event I had to leave for the very next morning. To make it even better, the foster mom had just been taken outside, with the door wide open for her to go back out – but she chose chaos instead.
“I didn’t know what to do and wondering, ‘How am I going to clean this gear now?’ We’ve fostered over 500 dogs and we’ve truly never experienced anything like this.”
Viewers sympathised with Brian’s predicament, but couldn’t help commenting on the stinky situation. One quipped: “Professional services is going to smell that repair coming a mile away.”
Another joked: “At least it wasn’t the couch… it was only your 15k worth of camera equipment.” While another pointed out: “And you have to hold that camera in front of your face constantly too.”

And another added: “Nah I’ve never seen something like this. This is crazy.”
In other dog poo news, a resourceful dad-of-four is aiming to make serious money – by scooping up dog mess. Kyle Newby, 39, reckons he’s pulling in the equivalent of £24,000 annually with his unconventional side gig.
The builder has secured 35 regular clients who pay him £15 weekly to clear their pets’ droppings from their gardens. He launched Pet Poo Pick last March after noticing a boom in dog waste collection services across the pond.
Kyle, from Littleover, Derbyshire, says the majority of his clients are elderly or disabled and struggle to clean up after their dogs. He currently grafts 12 hours weekly across two days but is keen to grow the venture this year.
