Labrador Tubby
Meet Tubby the plastic picking pooch who has been crowned a world record recycler. With his low emissions - except after treats - and wind turbine-like wagging tail Tubby is surely the greenest dog on earth. The family pet from the valleys of south Wales has been handed the gong from Guinness World Records today (THURS). From West Pontnewydd seven-year-old Tubby lives with proud own Sandra Gilmore who has watched her dynamo dog pick up 26,000 plastic bottles in six years. On his twice-daily walks, the pooch collects up to six plastic bottles each day from wherever he can find them before crushing them in his mouth and passing them to his owner who recycles them in her black box. The category is a new record title created after Guinness World Record organisers spotted his story. Since then, he has featured world-wide and has been sent presents from as far as America such as a luxury dog bed and a £200 voucher for dog food. He also has his own Facebook page, features in a Torfaen council comic strip and in May this year he was presented with a Civic Award from the council. Ms Gilmore said: "I am thrilled Tubby is in the Guinness World Records. "He still very much enjoys collecting the plastic bottles each day and it is great he is being recognised world-wide." A spokesman for Guinness World Records said he was looking for more entrants to be made from Wales.
