The container, legs, and tub the food falls into will be made from wood, and transparent plastic.

It will be placed in a small tent, so if an animal walks in the motion sensor wont pick up anything also

In Istanbul, Turkey, where thousands of stray dogs live on the city streets, a new vending machine aims to dispense foods for these animals while making a dent in the recycling problem at the same time.

Earlier this month the Turkish design company, Pugedon, unveiled the dog-friendly device on an urban sidewalk hoping to increase the recycling of plastic bottles, saving them from the landfill.

Pedestrians can empty their bottles into the machine, which can filter and dispense the water for the local dogs. Each time a plastic bottle is pushed through an opening in the front, a fixed amount of dog food trickles out at the bottom, next to the water.

The company says the dog food costs are covered by the plastic that is recovered.

I think helping stray dogs is important because I love animals. I look to them when i'm sad, and they lift my spirits, seeing them suffer, and even humans suffer, makes me really sad, and disappointed in the world we live in. Also, it makes me feel good when I know I can make a change to that. I just feel very passionate about dogs.

My solution is a machine that dispenses dog food for homeless dogs (strays). This is how it works:
1. The dog will step into the tent? cover thing it will be in.
2. When the motion camera sees the dog, it will 'tell' the machine at the bottom to slowly spin around ONCE, and dispense dog food in the bowl that will hang from the bottom, or just will be lying on the ground.
3. When the dog walks away, the machine will stop, and will wait till the next dogs come.

My problem is that Stray dogs are in my community. My solution would be to just help them. Not fully get rid of them. I have designed a machine, that dispenses dog food for strays. I believe if these get placed in front of animal shelters, that they could see the animals and at least think about taking them in the shelter. (See my 'solution' post to see the layout of the machine.)
