A 10-foot-long dog and ball is made entirely with recycled materials -- including wood stumps for legs; a body made of barrels, wheelbarrows, and license plates; and a collar made of tires studded with hubcaps and kitchen pans. The eyes are car headlights. There's also a cutout in the belly, revealing a diorama of "organs" made out of old metal parts.
