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 Irish stout and enjoy a glass when they go for a stroll.
An adorable video shows the puppies from Dublin, Ireland resting their paws on the bar and swallowing the alcohol.
Owner Scot Buchholz said: “They only drink Guinness. You’re so snobby and you can tell if it’s not the original.
‘They don’t drink any other ales or beers. I have to order a pint of Guinness for them because the waiter brings bowls of water and they never drink it.
“But they put the pint down and walk away.”

Owner Scot Buchholz said the pets only take a few sips of the pint and have been drinking it for years
The former TV journalist says the pets only took a few sips of the beer and had been drinking it for years.
Dylan, the eldest of the two, has been drinking Guinness since he was six, while Madigan had to wait for her first birthday before being allowed a sip.
The two don’t have a regular pub, but often go to the local bar at 66 Street, where the video was filmed.
The post garnered 106,000 views and users were quick to comment.
One said: “Imagine his belches after drinking that.”
Another commented: “Well he looks a bit fat”
A third wrote: “He’s a thief and needs to be brought to justice”
Scot added: “It’s a great talking point for people. You see her in the pub and you always say, “I never thought I’d be out on a Monday and see a dog drinking a pint”.
“People always want to pet and pet them. Once these girls came by and asked if it was Dylan and Madigan and said their grandmother follows them on Instagram.
“Everyone is happy to see her.”

Though dogs love the Irish stout, Scot says he’s waiting for a dog-friendly version to be produced
Though dogs love the Irish stout, Scot says he’s waiting for a dog-friendly version to be produced.
He added: “We are waiting for Guinness to create a dog-friendly beer for them. You just take a responsible small sip of it.
“They’re not there for the alcohol, it’s the barley and grain in it that attracts them. There are some vitamins in there that are good for them.”
Dogs Trust warns that dogs are drinking alcohol due to ethanol poisoning, a type of alcohol.
Toxicity can cause central nervous system depression, and clinical symptoms range from lethargy or depression and incoordination to tremors and death.
