A passer-by thought he’d gone barking mad when a pub’s impressive dog statue turned its head and eyeballed him.
Wayne Swift clocked the stirring silhouette of an Alaskan Malamute, perched 15ft high above the boozer’s wooden porch.
He thought it was an imposing statue of the animal.

Until it glared at him.
“I was driving along looking at what I thought was a beautiful monument to a dog or something,” the photographer told What’s The Jam.
“I thought it looked strange but it was eye-catching.
“So I was surprised when it actually moved and turned out to be a real dog.
“I think it must be the pub dog.

“It keeps an eye out not to let any riffraff enter.”
Wayne, 53, was driving past The Cross Keys, Willenhall, near Walsall, West Mids, at the time.
Some locals weren’t surprised that the dog had reached such a dangerously high spot.

One said: “I think this was quite common years ago.
“There used to be a dog that was always out on the pub roof where I used to live in the early 1980s.”
Another said: “Seriously, if this were not this breed, I would be surprised.
“But with this breed, nothing surprises me anymore.”
And another added: “At first I thought it was a statue [too], until it moved its head.”
