In Italy, a man taught his dog to illegally throw away trash

An Italian man trained his dog to carry bags of trash outside his property. The four-legged dog cleverly carried the waste away, leaving it in a prohibited area.

CCTV cameras captured a trained dog effortlessly delivering a bag of trash near Catania. A video of the incident was recently posted on the Catania municipality's Facebook page.

The video shows the cunning dog carrying a large bag of trash in its mouth and carefully depositing it on the side of the road. A spontaneous dump had formed there. The video itself was filmed late in the evening.

The report also published another video, which also shows the same dog brazenly carrying trash right to the side of the road. This finally convinced utility workers and law enforcement that the animal was not doing this without a reason, but was strictly following a "pattern" and instructions from its owner.

"This scene leaves no room for doubt: the animal was trained to avoid being filmed while illegally littering," the statement read.

The municipality expressed outrage: this behavior is outrageous not only because of the littering but also because of the exploitation of a four-legged friend.

Eventually, law enforcement officers identified the cunning perpetrator. The man was fined for illegal littering.
