A goat walks into a pub..
Eric the pygmy loves a trip to the baa, but he doesn’t drink – he’s just a kid
YOU may have herd the one about a goat in a pub, but for pygmy Eric it’s no joke – he loves it in his local.
Owner Jack Barrett, 40, even makes sure his pet is dressed for it, with a Manchester Utd top among accessories.
And although Eric, one, is not allowed alcohol, he can enjoy his favourite crisps.
Jack, a scaffolder, said: “Eric is great. He’ll lie down next to me or have a little wander. He likes being around people.
“He only ever has water. I wouldn’t give my child beer so why would I give it to my goat? He absolutely loves Quavers.”
Eric, named after Man Utd legend Eric Cantona, joins dad-of-two Jack once a week at the Angel Inn in Burnley, Lancs.
When they are not playing on the fruit machines, the pair go off on day trips – though timekeeping can be a challenge.
Jack said: “Whenever we are out, we’re stopped for pictures. We set off in good time to make sure we get there.”
