Robot vacuum runs over dog’s poo and smears it all over the house – leaving his owner traumatised
ROBOT vacuums are a Godsend for people who hate cleaning – but one dog owner has revealed what can happen if your pet’s left unattended.
Filmmaker Ryan Landy, from Florida, was horrified when he discovered his iRobot Roomba had rolled over his dog’s poo and proceeded to smear it all over the house.
Posting afterwards, he wrote: “My new Roomba ran over my dog’s s*** and proceeded to ‘clean’ the rest of my house. I’m going to need therapy.”
Ryan’s dog Apollo was a recently acquired rescue dog, who hadn’t been fully house trained yet – hence his little accident.
Ryan added: “We rescued him recently and he’s not fully trained yet.
“So we keep the roomba closed off in whatever room it’s cleaning, unfortunately some of my pets know how to open doors, which is what lead to the catastrophe. You learn from your mistakes”.

The post was written in July but has been trending again this week, and Ryan has an update for those invested in his story.
He wrote: “this post is suddenly blowing up again for some reason, which reminds me I forgot to update that iRobot reached out directly and got me a new deluxe roomba as a reward for my carelessness. life is strange.”
The same thing previously happened to dog owner Jesse Newton, who described it as “the poopocalypse”.
