Lucky the dog hasn’t always been best friends with the trash collectors. In fact, in the beginning, she was a little afraid of them and their big truck.

Dog becomes best friends with trash collectors
In fact, Lucky started loving the weekly visits from the trash collectors! She would run up to them and demand cuddles. So much so that the trash collectors started looking forward to their visits to Lucky’s house.

Lucky’s owner, Bobbe Kutcha, was extremely moved by the gesture. Yet, the trash collectors said it came naturally to them, since they enjoyed Lucky’s presence so much. When interviewed, Orlando said:
Beautiful words of wisdom that everyone should live by if you ask us!
