Self-proclaimed AFL guru Guy Hart confidently believed a dog sporting a Collingwood jumper at the Cal Gully Dog Park couldn’t even name their team’s captain.
“Typical Collingwood supporter, that one,” quipped Gary, nursing his latte on a seat. “I asked the little fella, ‘Who’s the pies skipper?’ and he just looked at me like I’d asked for his opinion on quantum physics.”
When approached for comment, Bark Pendles’s owner, Bob Richardson, rolled his eyes at the accusations. “Sorry, he didn’t realise there was a pop quiz at the dog park today.”
Witnesses report Bark Pendles, the four-legged fan, was more interested in sniffing dogs’ crotches than discussing footy. “Probably thinks the captain is the one who throws the ball during fetch,” Gary said.
“Back in my day, dogs knew their footy. If your dog can’t name the captain, it’s a clear sign of subpar training,” Gary quipped, shaking his head in disappointment.
More to come.
