Folks abstaining from booze and participating in “Dry January” seems to get more popular every year…but that doesn’t mean that everyone is on board.

A TikTokker named Abbey showed folks how her dog reacted when he was on a walk with her partner and he wanted to stop in to a bar for a pint.

The video showed a man with his dog on the leash…

And this dog wouldn’t budge!

The reason why…?

The pooch wanted to go to the pub across the street!

The video’s text overlay reads, “When your dog is used to stopping at the local pub on his walks, but it’s Dry January.”

Abbey wrote in the caption, “He must not have gotten the memo.”

Can you blame this dog for wanting to stop off at his local pub for a beer?
