I thought I would share this with all the dog lovers who read my blog.It comes from the Daily Mirror.
Sheepdog Meg sniffs out litter in her local park and drops it in the bin every day.
The six-year-old collie is so efficient the park is often clear by the time council cleaners arrive.
Owner Ken Pople, 69, said: “There are times when she will drop her ball and run off to put a can in the bin. It’s a sight to see.” Meg even shamed a gang of youths into picking up their litter.
Ken explained: “There was a group of young lads and girls and one of them had lobbed a can into the grass.
Meg picked it up and dropped it in the nearest bin."
“The boy’s reaction was to say, ‘That was f*****g awesome.’ So I was able to say, "Perhaps that has taught you a lesson."
“Later they put their rubbish into a bag and the lad gave me a thumbs up sign as he put it in the bin.”
Meg tidies up at a park in Great Cornard, Suffolk, and community warden Andy Nunny hopes to use her for an anti-littering campaign.He said :-
“If a dog can be trained to put rubbish in the bin, surely people can learn to as well.”
