If A Mongrel Can Do It, So Can You.

Dizzy, The Recycling Dog

Dizzy the dog is doing her bit to help save the planet by recycling the rubbish in her owner's home. Beer cans, plastic bottles, cardboard and envelopes are carried to the family's recycling shed in the garden. Dizzy, the two-year-old mongrel, even collects plastic bottles on the beach near her home in Newquay, Cornwall, and takes them to the nearest bin.
"You cannot drink a cola or beer from a can because she wants it," owner Emma Trebilcock said. "When we have barbecues we have got to ask our friends to have their drinks from glasses because she is there waiting for the cans.
She also carries our recycling bags and even tries to carry bin liners, but they are a bit too large for her, so she ends up dragging them behind her. "Sometimes we have to check our recycling bins to make sure she has not taken unopened mail out," said 23-year-old Ms Trebilcock.
