A Wisconsin woman was shocked to discover that her elderly Shih Tzu-terrier mix was still a paw-ty animal at heart — after the pooch sneaked out of the backyard and ended up in a local bar.
Jenny Hazard, from Milwaukee, was frantically looking for her 16-year-old pet last week, when she got an unexpected text saying, “if this is your dog it’s at Finks,” referring to a bar located a mile away from her house.
“I’m like, what?” Hazard told the station Fox 6.
Hazard said on Wednesday evening she was in her backyard with her three dogs, including Bear, when the pooch slipped unnoticed through a gate that was left slightly open.
“After about 15 or 20 minutes I was just in tears,” Hazard said. “Because he’s old, he’s got a heart condition.”

Hazard took to social media, asking people in the area to be on the lookout for the furry fugitive, who is also partially blind and walks with a limp.
