Meet The Locals: Manchester’s Pub Dogs

When you’re visiting a city, there’s no better way to get a feel for the place than nipping into a pub or bar.

You can grab a pint, find a bit of food after a long day out and about, and, of course – get to know the locals.

But as photographer and Manchester local Georgie Glass knows, the pubs in this part of the country often have canine regulars, too.

We flicked through her book Pub Dogs of Manchester and were charmed by all the dogs who frequent the city’s bars and pubs.

So if you ever needed an excuse to go for a little trip to the UK’s north west – here are 10 very good, four-legged reasons.
