Meet Rex, the most dogged potman a publican could ever wish to have work for him

Meet Rex, the most dogged potman a publican could ever wish to have work for him. As the final, plaintive cries of " Time, gentlemen, If you please" stir the customers into draining their glasses before making their way home, Rex gets his teeth into his nightly task of collecting up all the empty bottles at the Punch Bowl, Dorking, Surrey. Rex, a seven-years-old alsatian, picks the bottles up in his mouth and carries them one by one behind the counter, where he stacks them in crates. A bar dog with no flies on him, Rex needed only a fifteen-minute lesson from his master, Mr. Stanley Gill, before he passed out in first-class potmanship. Mr. Gill, licensee at the Punch Bowl, says that at first Rex found it hard to tell the difference between full and empty bottles. But the customers were not slow in instructing him in the art. 19th August 1965
