Value of a dog part 2

I blipped a few days ago that one of the benefits of having a dog was that it made you get out of the house and do walks you wouldn't otherwise. Another benefit is being able to go to the pub with one. I don't have many people locally who I can just pop down the pub with, but I like to go for a pint in my local every now and then. Going in and sitting on your own feels slightly loserish, but hey, walking in with a dog has that "I was just out walking my dog and popped in for a pint" narrative. And Bruno likes the pub, so that's good.
