Newspaper Article – Dog Problem

In Hastings there is a dog with a problem. He sits outside a wine and spirit merchant’s warehouse with a very depressed look.

What makes this dog different from others is that he does not sit on the steps of the place and look outwards. He just sits staring through the portals and at the shelves of grog.

Nearly every morning he’s there, and Roundabout feels he should be taken in hand before temptation gets the better of him.

We have visions of going by one day to see him trying to get his teeth into a beer can.

The problem will then be: do we get him an opener, or try to talk him into taking a prohibition order out on himself?
