The Jarrow & Hebburn Gazette reported how regulars to the Jolly Sailor pub in Whitburn, Tyneside were left devastated when Bobby the Alsatian was put to sleep earlier this year after suffering a series of health problems.
The pub’s restaurant area has now been renamed Bobby’s Den by owner Victor Hanson who originally took Bobby as a puppy at previous pub, the Sportsmans Arms in Sunderland.
Bobby apparently had an issue with authority figures and once earned himself an ASBO for his behaviour towards postmen, always a dog’s worst enemy.
Here’s to Bobby!
