MARY REICHARD, HOST: Officials in a small town in Sicily say they have finally cracked a case of illegal dumping. But the culprit may surprise you!

Surveillance cameras captured images of a small dog leaving its home with a bag of trash in its mouth … trotting down the street … and depositing the bag neatly at the roadside.

Now at first, officials wondered whether it was just a coincidence. 

But after reviewing the footage, they say the dog clearly had been trained for the job.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Bad owner! Bad!

REICHARD: Bad owner! Authorities tracked the owner down and fined him. 

Officials calling the scheme “as cunning as it is doubly wrong”—not just for the illegal dumping … but for dragging an otherwise innocent dog into this mess.

Proving that it’s not always necessity ... but laziness that’s often the mother of invention.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
