A BELFAST pub has been hailed the most 'dog-friendly' in the north.

The Sunflower bar in the city centre received the most votes for its "welcoming approach, secure garden, and shaded areas" for patrons and their pets.

The awards are run by Rover.com, the world's largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers.

Sunflower worker Robert McManus said: "All our staff love dogs and try to make sure their time in the pub is comfortable.

"We take part in a few dog-friendly events so this shows that the work we're doing is worthwhile and local dog owners appreciate what we're doing. This regional award opens up many new opportunities for us."
