Gary Kay, a dog owner from Dunnington, York in northern England, has to chain his pet to prevent his terrier from taking a bus ride to go on nightly bar hoppings.

Kay said his dog named Ratty, regularly takes the bus on his own to a bar known as Black Bull in Hull Road, York. According to the York Post newspaper, the dog visits the bar twice a week because the barmaid feeds him sausages.

However, the bar started catering to the elite market and banned all animals from entering the premises.

Kay said Ratty found a new local bar named Rose and Crown Pub in Lawrence Street to frequent.

He told the newspaper that his dog gets off the bus at the Black Bull on his own then crosess the street and turn up at the Rose and Crown.

Kay said, "I've had to start chaining him up because, although he can get to the pub on his own he can't get home. I've no idea how he is doing any of this or how he crosses the road. This dog just has a mind of his own."
