Birds do like to use it for nests, and if you have a double coated breed, such as a sheltie ;o), collie, St. Bernard, golden, samoyd, etc., you can keep the undercoat you have brushed out to be spun into yarn for knitting. :-) Our National has a booth for rescue each year, and a few of our rescue folks make dog hair itmes for sale to benefit rescue.

I'm not sure if the wind has blown it away or not, but it's always gone when I check on it. I like to think that the birds have taken it.
