Scruff the eco-dog has collected more than 1,000 discarded plastic bottles on a mission to clean up his hometown and help the planet. The 13-year-old border collie has become a local star in Nuneaton for doing his bit for the environment on daily walks with his owners.
David Grant, 48, and wife Yvonne Faulkner-Grant, 47, first noticed their litter-picking hound had a fascination for plastic bottles about a year ago but he would drop them when he found the next one. They began carrying a bag to put his collections into to take along to a recycling centre. Yvonne said: "We got him to start bringing the bottles to us and we put them in a bag and then counted them up at the end of the walk.
