Due to two anonymous complaints we have to look at re-homing our beloved pub dog Bodger. He has been accused of straying when he partakes of his daily jaunt around the front of the pub to the riverbank. Taunton Deane Council have sent two dog wardens to watch the pub to catch Bodger in the process of this heinous act. They have sent us a letter saying that if they catch him they will take him to the dog pound and we will then have to pay to have him released. We cannot consider chaining him up because this would be cruel following the freedom that he has previously enjoyed. He is a sociable dog who is very popular with our patrons. We the undersigned agree with the following statements: - 1. I have never witnessed Bodger wandering into the road. 2. I have never witnessed Bodger creating a traffic hazard. 3. I have never witnessed Bodger displaying any aggressive behaviour either inside or outside of the pub. 4. Bodger is a very well behaved dog.

the wardens were spotted hanging around the corner again today acting like bodger is some kind of criminal mastermind. its honestly ridiculous that they have nothing better to do than stalk a pub dog who just wants to go for his walk by the river.

im honestly blown away by how much everyone loves bodger and we keep seeing so much support pouring in. it really shows that this sweet guy belongs right here at the pub instead of some pound.

Total waste of council resources. go catch some real criminals instead of bothering a pub dog.

Ridiculous. the council has nothing better to do with our tax money than harass a friendly dog? leave the poor boy alone he is part of the community.
