More and more people are urging the rest of the world to work towards having a greener and more sustainable environment. We may have ignored them before but nowadays, it is best that we heed the call. We need to save our planet and we should do every little thing that we can to help out.
It seems like humans are not the only ones capable of taking on this initiative. There is a dog who is doing his part in helping the environment.
Meet Chipper, an environmental hero. A woman named Katie Pollak adopted him in 2011, and he is now an 8-year-old dog who lives in Mesa, Arizona. He is a rescue dog.
Chipper has always had a thing for keeping the environment clean and eco-friendly, which began as an odd hobby of collecting plastic bottles. Katie could not help but be surprised so she rewarded Chipper each time he exhibited this behavior in order to reinforce it.
Katie joined Chipper’s cleanup effort within a short period of time. It’s most probably one of those few instances in which a human learns something from an animal. It is definitely astounding.
The duo finds picking up trash to be such a nice bonding experience that they frequently volunteer to do that in the rocky wilderness close to their hometown. Katie finds it distressing that despite their attempts to maintain a clean environment, people still continue to litter the area.
The Wild Keepers are people from all around the world who love the environment and do everything that they can to preserve it. Their goal is to collect one million pounds of trash by 2023, and Chipper plays a crucial role in their advocacy. His fame may have some advantages, but the clincher is how inspiring his story is.
It is not every day that we get to learn about a dog who helps out the environment. May you find inspiration in his deeds.
