The managers were later told they could keep the dog."We obviously wanted to give him a home, we couldn't see him going to a kennel or anything like that. It was one of the best decisions I think we've ever made," Mr Davies added.Rex the Shih Tzu ran into the Leaping Wolf Pub in September 2023The pub managers said they had been told there was no extended family who could look after Rex, and were asked if they wanted to adopt him. The dog has now become "one of the family" and is a favourite with football fans and regulars. "We were just a bit worried because he was a rescue dog, but we decided to keep him because he wasn't a problem, he's like a tourist project," Mr Morris said."I know people who come from London and they come deliberately to see the dog."Rex greets all costumers as they walk through the door, and enjoys the treats and attention he receives. Pub regular Terrance Mason said: "He's beautiful, smashing dog. He likes the fuss and we have a good laugh. "He will go to anybody, he's a lovely dog. He's my matey."More like this storyStudent graduates with guide dog in mini gownTwo dogs abandoned within metres of animal charityFollow BBC Wolverhampton & Black Country on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.DogsWolverhampton
