booze hound!

a brilliant dutch pet shop owner has FINALLY invented beer for dogs! it is made with beef!

"Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," she said.

Berenden consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market last week and advertised it as "a beer for your best friend."

"Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.

The beer is fit for human consumption, Berenden said. But at euro1.65 ($2.14) a bottle, it's about four times more expensive than a Heineken.

i hope it tastes better than heineken, too.

on another note, if you do a google image search for "drunk dog" there are a disturbingly high number of hits. my goodness.
