Bank holiday Monday marks one of the most important days - National Dog Day.

And to mark the day, a Barnwood pub is offering the paw-fect treat for dog lovers: a free pint.

The Wheatstone Inn on Centre Seven is offering dog lovers the free drink after discovering that more than half of dog owners would choose to take their pet pooch to the pub rather than their partner, friend or family member.

The pub is offering dog owners a free drink

Paul McGlone, general manager at the Wheatstone Inn Chef & Brewer pub, said: "We're a nation of dog-lovers and our research just goes to show that our four-legged friends really do make the perfect pub companions, especially after a long walk in the countryside.

"That's why, to celebrate National Dog Day, we're offering a special treat for Barnwood dog owners who just love spending time with their furry friends, by offering them a complimentary refreshing drink to enjoy whilst winding down and relaxing in the paw-fect setting.

"We look forward to welcoming local dog owners next week."

In order to redeem your free drink, you just need to visit the Wheatstone Inn Chef & Brewer pub on Monday, August 26 and show you have brought your dog with them to the pub when ordering a drink.

As well as a free drink for owners, pooches will also get a treat to enjoy too.
