Boozy night in doghouse for intruder

A DRUNK returned home to the wrong flat after a night on the sauce and snuggled down for a kip – in a DOG’S BASKET!

Fortunately for the unnamed intruder, Benton – a 150lb Mastiff – was not too bothered by his new sleeping partner.

But the two women who share the flat in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with the giant hound were less than happy about their visitor.

Benton’s owner Lynn Sarver and her flatmate, Elise Diskerud, woke to find a strange bloke asleep in Benton’s bed.

Elise said: “We were kind of freaked out. I grabbed the knife.”

Lynn added that they crept away quietly and called police.

It was later found the man lived just down the street and had come home to the wrong place.

A side door to the two women’s home had been left unlocked accidentally, making it easy for the man to slip in.

He was released without charge.
