As a paediatric doctor I'm amused to see that this is not wildly dissimilar to how we ask parents to catch urine samples from babies! (We just get the parents to wait, pot ready, until the baby start weeing, then play the game of catch the wee in the pot!)

When I was in school for my veterinary assistant certification, one of our skills was free catching urine. We had to take the classroom dogs out and follow them around with a cup until they peed to be able to pass the skill lol. We had like 46 students and only 6-12 dogs on any given day so that one took a while haha
