New 'dog only' beer hits shelves


Hair of the dog anyone? Thanks to Dutch-made 'Dog Beer', man's best friend can now join man in an ice-cold brew.
Ever sat in a bar and thought ‘I wish just once my dog could join me in a casual beer?’ Us neither, but clearly it’s a problem for someone as a Dutch brewer has started producing beer for the as yet untapped pooch market.
Dog Beer is made from a special blend of beef extracts and malt, giving dogs that clean, crisp lager taste while adding some meaty goodness.
A spokesman for the brewers said: ‘It is a beer for your best friend.
‘For large dogs we would recommend one bottle a day and for things like a Chihuahua... well, they prefer shorts.’
The brew is of course, non-alcoholic.
Dog owner Wiktor Piotrowski was among one of the first to buy the product when it was released in Poland this week.
After enjoying some frosty suds with his pet he said: ‘My dog loves it. Now when we go for a walk we can both go to the pub.

Nurse deemed too sexy to be a police officer

A Norwegian nurse who applied to be a police officer has been turned down because she is too sexy, after pictures surfaced from her nude modelling career


Nurse Cathrine Ashima, who models part time, breezed through the medical and fitness tests required to join the force but was rejected after an interview panel questioned her over her work as a nude model.
Police deny that the decision was made on these grounds saying that ‘the applicant was not found suitable on the basis of the following: Work motivation, understanding about the role of the police and a lack of general knowledge.'
However Ashima says she knew she would not get the job after a female member of the interview panel confronted her with her modelling shots.
'During the interview one of the women on the board held up some nude pictures of me and started waving them in my face.
'I think it's too bad that someone in the police thinks I am unfit to be a police officer because of my great body.'
Despite passing the tests with flying colours police told the nurse that working as a nude model was akin to being a member of a right-wing organisation.
'It's just terrible political correctness,' Ashima said.
She has now reportedly sought legal help and intends to challenge the board’s decision
