EAST VILLAGE — Finally, you can scoop your dog's poop with Donald Trump's face.

As first reported by EV Grieve, The School for the Dogs at 155 E. Second St., which offers “reform school” for problem behavior in pups such as “Sidewalk Psychos” and “Skater Haters,” is now offering an entirely new service — poop bags featuring Donald Trump’s face.

The limited-edition bags are designed by school founder

School founder Annie Grossman recruited her father, artist Robert Grossman, to design the limited edition bags, now being sold as part of the school's "Poop Bag of the Month" club. Her father happens to be a renowned caricaturist who has provided illustrations and political cartoons for such publications as Rolling Stone, Esquire, and New York magazine, and he was up to the task, she said.

"I was thinking it would be oddly nice if there was some sort of content on the bags that meant something," she said. "Then I thought, well, what better content to put on a poop bag right now than a picture of Donald Trump?"

Anti-Trump dog owners looking to make a statement can pick up two rolls of the bags for $8 at the school or online at www.dump4trump.com.

For $10, you can get two rolls signed by the artist himself.

Grossman said she had a rough time finding a poop bag-provider willing to get political — but also found her request was not all that unusual.

"One place said they had received many requests to put Donald Trump's face on a poop bag," she said. "But I think I was the only one to take it so far as to place a bulk order."

The bags are already a big hit citywide — a free dispenser in Park Slope has been spotted stocked full with the limited-edition bags.

Grossman is just the latest city artist to take aim at the Republican front-runner – and is not the first to lump him in with feces for a laugh.

Street artist Major Bigtime this week took to the subway to stick Trump’s head on the stick figures in MTA’s Courtesy Counts ads — “because Trump is a big NYC dildo,” he said.

Still, pro-Trump city-dwellers have also taken to the streets to show their support — an East Village Starbucks in March removed a pro-Trump sign from its windows, stating it was placed there without the chain’s approval.
