Man in Italy allegedly trains dog to illegally dump trash on the side of the road
CATANIA, Italy (CBS, KYMA) - A dog owner is alleged to have trained his pet to illegally dump trash on the side of the road in Catania, Italy, authorities said.
Two videos released by the Municipality of Catania show the small dog on consecutive days trotting down a street with a full bag in its mouth before dropping it on the roadside.
Posting the footage on Facebook, officials said the owner took "advantage of the unconscious four-legged friend" and that the security camera footage "leaves little room for doubt" that the dog had been trained to dump the trash.
"Ingenuity can never become an alibi for incivility," the Municipality of Catania said. They did not specify what action was being taken.
