Any dog lover would like a world where the sight of a dog being served a roast meal in a restaurant would be met by a 100 per cent approval from everyone.
But, as it appears, not everyone is happy for something so adorable and pure. People have come up with lame reasons when such a kind act took place in this British pub.
Lianne Rimmer, a resident of Liverpool, UK, posted pictures of herself and her dog, a springer spaniel going by the name Bella, having a roast dinner as a reward of a four-mile run.
The caption of the post read: “Little treat after our four-mile run today, we were stuck in traffic for over an hour so pulled into a pub to feed us both.
“Breakfast for me and roast for Bella – asked for extra meat of course!”
A lot of people praised the act, with one person saying: “Our dogs always had what we were having whether it was a Sunday roast, bolognese with mushrooms, onion and garlic or even a curry. Never did them any harm and they all lived happy, long lives.”
But some had reservations about a dog being served roast and gravy.
One make-up biochemistry expert said: “It’s the salt that’s an issue. Too much salt can interfere with your kidneys.
“Potassium levels can shoot up, and can cause kidney failure. Can happen with humans if we don’t drink enough; it becomes concentrated. With animals, they should get enough salt out of their natural diet.
“Giving gravy, etc., with salt added can cause issues.”
Another social media user said: “Maybe next time no gravy as [there’s] way too much salt in it and you don’t know how much salt is in the Yorkshire pud or the veg!”
Yet another one thought the whole idea of serving a dog was a big NO. The user wrote: “I’ll probably get shouted down for this, but sorry, I think it’s wrong to allow your dog to eat off pub plates!
“Yes, our dog eats off plates in our house on occasions and yes, we take him to a local pub on lovely summer evenings and buy him a meal BUT we put it in his own collapsible dish that we take with us.”
Lianne revealed that her dog has roast dinner on Sundays but she prefers to cook herself. On this occasion in the pub, the dog was served with turkey and beef and she finished all the roast she was served.
Speaking of people being unhappy with a dog dining in a pub, Lianne told LADbible: “I got questioned on that and took some stick but if you look there’s not a lot, plus most dog foods have more salt in than anything.
“She has the healthiest diet ever – a little roast now and again won’t kill her.
“That day I was stuck in traffic and we were both hungry and the only option for her was a carvery.”
Replaced!
