Two Dachshunds have gone viral for drinking pints of Guinness in a pub.
Madigan, one, and Dylan, 11, have fallen in love with the taste of the Irish stout and enjoy a glass when they’re on a walk.
An adorable video shows the pups, of Dublin, Ireland, prop their paws on the bar and gulp the alcohol.
Owner Scot Buchholz said: ‘They only drink Guinness. They are so snobby and can tell if it isn’t the real thing.
‘They won’t drink any other ales or beer. I have to order a pint of Guinness for them because the server will bring bowls of water out and they never drink it.
‘But, they put the pint down and away they go.’

Owner Scot Buchholz said the pets only have a few gulps from the pint and have been drinking it for years
The former TV journalist says the pets only have a few gulps from the pint and have been drinking it for years.
Dylan, the eldest of the pair, has been gulping Guinness since he was six years old, whereas Madigan had to wait for her first birthday before she was allowed a sip.
The two don’t have a regular pub, but will often step into local bar Street 66, which is where the video was filmed.
The post has racked up 106,000 views and users were quick to comment.
One said: ‘Imagine his burps after drinking this’
Another commented: ‘Well he does look a little stout’
A third penned: ‘He’s a thief and he must be brought to justice’
Scot added: ‘It’s a great talking point for people. They see them in the pub and always say “I never thought I would be out on a Monday and see a dog drinking a pint”.
‘People always want to give them a cuddle and a rub. One time these girls came over and asked if it was Dylan and Madigan and said their grandmother follows them on Instagram.
‘Everyone finds joy in seeing them.’

Although the dogs love the Irish stout, Scot says he is waiting for a dog friendly version to be produced
Although the dogs love the Irish stout, Scot says he is waiting for a dog friendly version to be produced.
He added: ‘We’re waiting for Guinness to create a dog-friendly beer for them. They only have a responsible little sip of it.
‘They aren’t there for the alcohol, it’s the barley and grains in it that’s the draw for them. There’s some vitamins in it that’s good for them.’
Dogs Trust warns against dogs drinking alcohol due to ethanol poisoning, a type of alcohol.
Toxicity can cause central nervous system depression, and clinical signs range from lethargy or depression and incoordination to tremors and death.
