Alfie Kitson and his litter picking dog Millie in Hereford. See SWNS story SWMDlitter. December 17, 2021. These remarkable pictures show a precious pooch helping keep the streets of Hereford spotless, by cleaning up after lazy locals. Alfie Kitson, 80, and five-year-old Millie have been picking up litter for the last few years after spotting a soldier and his dog do the same trick in a park in Spain. Millie, a type of Spanish Podenco dog, was rescued in Spain when owner Alfie and his wife Judith lived there. Since moving back to the UK, Millie has been able to put her skills to use on the streets of Hereford. Alfie, an ex-plumber from Herefordshire, said: “A few people say why do you do it, I enjoy it and the dog enjoys it. “All I have to say ‘is put that litter in the bin’ and she will pick it up and do it.”
