Strange things your pet is attracted to

Dylan, a little mutt rescued from the streets, is a magpie. He needs to take ownership of ANYTHING in which either myself, my other dog or the rabbit shows even a slight interest. He is very neat and tidy and takes his "prizes" to his bed.

I have found carrot tops, a USB key, pens, a glasses case, a packet of sweet pea seeds, my contact lens case, a bit of bandage that the other dog chewed off his leg after an operation . . . . . he is quite happy to share all items, but if they are left lying around, he will collect them again.

Maybe he's just tidy.
