AN ANGLESEY pub says it has been overwhelmed with support after a social media post reminding customers of its long-standing no dogs policy "went crazy".
The Bull Inn in Pentraeth shared a post on its Facebook page explaining that dogs are not permitted indoors because of hygiene concerns around its open carvery unit.
The post prompted hundreds of reactions and comments online, with the pub later saying the response had "gone crazy".
In a follow-up post, the pub said the policy has been in place for more than 19 years and stressed it was "nothing new", but had been reiterated because staff are still frequently asked whether dogs are allowed inside.
The owners said they had received phone calls of support from members of the public and that some new customers had visited the pub for food after seeing the post online.
Writing on Facebook on Sunday, July 19, they said: "So... my post about not allowing dogs inside for hygiene reasons has gone crazy.
"The Bull Inn has been a 'No Dogs' pub for over 19 years. Nothing new, just reiterating the fact as so many people still ask.
"The support we've received has been, I'd say 90 per cent of people agree.
"We've had phone calls of support from complete strangers, and we've had new customers come in for food because of it.

"The one thing I will say again is that no, we are not dog haters, far from it. We are, however, very conscious of hygiene around our open carvery unit.
"We will never get everyone to understand this and some will keep twisting the story.
"Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and our pub."
Earlier this month, the pub shared a poster on social media reminding customers of its policy, which read: "Sorry, no dogs allowed inside due to the nature of the business."
It added: "We do however have lots of lovely seating front and back, we can also provide your pooch with some fresh water plus we sell Jude's Doggy Ice Cream."
