These dogs helped to replant a forest in Chile after it was devastated by wildfires.

Many regions around the world have been affected by wildfires this year, including the UK, Australia and America.

A lot of attention has been focused on what it took to put them out but when they have long been extinguished they also need to be replanted.

Animal welfare organisation Pewos used a rather unconventional method to do this in Chile last year.

Francisca Torres, who runs the group strapped seeds to her three border collies Das, Summer and Olivia, and then sent them running through the forests.

Ms Torres’ method meant many more seeds could be laid down as they trickled from the special doggy back packs.

The method has been a success after plants began growing again.

The ultimate aim is to restore the lost trees, which is now looking like a possibility.

Earlier this year Ms Torres, who is aided by her sister Constanza, told Mother Nature Network: ‘They reeeeeally love [it]!!

‘It’s a country trip, where they can run as fast as they can and have a great time.’

The initial project took place from March to September last year.

More than 1.4 million acres were lost during Chile’s worst ever wildfires at the beginning of 2017.

The blaze also burned down 1,500 homes and 11 people also died.
