Landlord spends night on floor of pub to look after a dog

A landlord spent the night on the floor of his pub to keep a dog company after its drunken owner forgot to take it home. 

He uploaded photographs of himself online showing the Staffie sitting on blankets in the Dreadnought Pub in Edinburgh. 

But he joked that the woman who forgot her dog only gave his venue a four-star review despite his generous act.

He wrote on Twitter: ‘So the p*****-up woman who forgot her dog on Saturday night has just given us a 4* review. 

‘Hang on, I LOOKED AFTER YOUR DOG ALL NIGHT.

‘Merlot too cold, apparently.’

One user responded: ‘How p***** does someone have to be to forget their dog!?’ 

But another asked why he chose to stay in his pub rather than simply take the dog home with him. 

The unnamed landlord replied that he had to stay in his boozer with the pooch because he has cats, adding that he also has a daughter ‘who wouldn’t have let [the dog] leave again!’

The unnamed landlord of the Dreadnought Pub in Edinburgh (pictured) was unimpressed by the four-star review 

Other Twitter users jokes after the post went viral. The landlord said he had to stay in his boozer with the pooch because he has cats, adding that he also has a daughter ‘who wouldn’t have let [the dog] leave again!’

He also explained his reasoning for posting the photograph in a message on Facebook 

‘When your wife wants to know why you didn’t come home last night and you have to produce evidence to support your implausible claim that one of the punters forgot to take their dog with them,’ he wrote.

‘Both now happily reunited with our owners.’
