Pub landlord sleeps on floor after drunk woman leaves her dog behind

A pub landlord was outraged after sleeping on the floor of his boozer to look after a dog a woman had left behind, only to receive a bad review over “cold merlot”.

The dog was eventually “happily reunited with its owner” according to a post on the pub’s Facebook page.

But the landlord was put out after the woman — who reportedly forgot to take her dog home after a night of too much drinking — still gave the Dreadnought in Leith, Edinburgh, four stars because her glass of Merlot was “too cold.”

The owner said he shared his experience on social media after having to provide his wife with photographic evidence to prove he really was sleeping on the pub floor to look after a dog.

“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,” it read.

Despite reuniting the dog with its owner, he later posted on Twitter claiming that she had reviewed the pub, only giving it four stars and complaining about the temperature of her red wine.

So the pissed-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

Fortunately, the posts quickly took on a life of their own, with dozens of people sharing their support for the Landlord, and even leaving five-star reviews of their own.

The Dreadnought — a craft beer pub located in one Edinburgh’s Leith suburb — is not just receipted for its love of animals. The boozer was also recently crowned Edinburgh’s Pub of the Year in the Campaign for Real Ale’s annual regional awards.

The overall UK winner was the Cricketers Arms, a community pub in St Helens, Merseyside which had been boarded up for closure in 2013.
