| Dog barred from pub |
| 2008-11-12 |
| Hatty had been banned from the Jolly Sailor pub in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, north Wales, for chewing beer mats. Baaaaaaaaaad Doggie. No more Beer Mats! But landlord Nigel McLelland finally relented and let the Lakeland Terrier return - under strict conditions. He lowered the boom on Hatty. Jeff Hughes, the dog's owner, explained how Mr McLelland had put his pet on a pub watch scheme last year after a rowdy night out. Drinkers started throwing beer mats about which caught the dog's attention. The Frisbee Reflex, found after searching the veterinary medicine literature. Mr Hughes, 35, a roofer, said: "One night we went in there and it was packed, there had been football on or whatever. She just went berserk." INCOMING!!! Two many flying beer mats to keep track of for a dawg. Information overrrrrrlooooooooad!! He said that the landlord had "got a bit annoyed about this and basically put her on the pub watch scheme." Mr McLelland said he only reversed his decision after a petition was launched to let Hatty back in and he feared he was going to lose trade. It all comes down to money. Now Hatty can enter the pub but only if she wears the specially made reflective jacket, which she also wears while accompanying her master on building sites. Attention all hands!!! Dawg on Deck. The landlord insisted on the vest so staff and customers can see where the dog is when she is rooting around under tables for the mats. |
