Man Creates 'Stick Library' For His Local Dog Park

December 16, 2019

A crafty dad has received praise from pet owners after building a ‘library’ that all dogs can use to borrow and return sticks at a newly opened pooch park.

Earlier this month, toolmaker Andrew Taylor, 59, was trimming the trees at the side of his house in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, when he had an ingenious idea on how to recycle the branches that he cut off.

Andrew smoothed down the hardwood branches and put them in a box which he sanded the edges of the to make it safer for dogs to reach into it.

Finally, he brought the gift to the dog park that had just opened in his town and engraved it with the words "Stick Library".
