The passengers on the Middlesbrough Bus thought it was funny as did the sitters in the car park.
Beach Buoy placed Another Dog on the beach access ramp wall.
It was 4 p.m.
They had words...
It felt like Another Dog had to be presented to the beach.
Perhaps Beach Buoy should supply a Ribbon and some Scissors for Another Dog to "Open" the ramp each visit?
