A few years ago I came across A Dog Walks Into A Bar and was mildly concerned. Everyone knows that dogs shouldn’t be drinking beer! Rest easy, Bryn Nowell, the brilliant blogger behind the title, knows that too. She writes about her two favorite things—dogs and adult beverages—on one hilarious, thoughtful, and fun platform. A Dog Walks Into A Bar features dog-friendly breweries, tips for caring for your dogs, and photos that always make me smile.
From Bryn: “Bean and Yoda are two Boston Terriers, but that’s where their similarities end. Bean (her real name is Quincy, but we stopped calling her that almost immediately in favor of Bean). She is brown, after all! Bean’s nine-year anniversary for joining our lives was November 14th. She was a four-pound bundle when we picked her up. We stayed home that Thanksgiving to watch her, and both my husband and I slept on the floor to be near her the night she came home. She was afraid of the wind and leaves. She would sit on our feet when we went outside and hid behind us if a breeze made its way to her.
To date, we have been able to donate over $10,000 worth of supplies, food, treats and money to local animal rescue organizations due to the generosity of the brands we have worked with, affiliate money earned, and prizes won.”

Be sure to check out A Dog Walks Into A Bar for great information about taking your dog to a dog-friendly brewery, traveling with your dog, and even how to cut a dog’s nails. Yoda and Bryn were recently featured on TV giving tips for winterizing your dog. It is also a great place to learn about products for pets and win fantastic prizes.
Bryn’s photos were featured on Martha Stewart, BarkPost, and Cuteness Overload. She also won the 2018 BlogPaws Nose to Nose Award for best photo. Additionally, A Dog Walks Into A Bar was a finalist in several different categories over the years.

This is really cute. My bulldog is snoring next to me but I think she’d agree!
Bryn Nowell says
Yes! Snoring is a regular in our household, too. Yoda is a very smooooooooshy faced Boston, so his snores are significant and hysterical!
Jane says
I need a Bean shirt!
Bryn Nowell says
I agree! The shirts are super soft and really well made, if that impacts your decision to make a Bean shirt a part of your lineup of awesome duds!
Mindy says
Bostons are my dream dogs and these are the cutest!
Bryn Nowell says
Awww! Thanks for this fantastic feature! I was honored when you asked to feature us, and I am thrilled by all you’ve shared. We have had a lot of fun over the years with our blog, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store. I’m pretty sure petting dogs and drinking beer will be involved somehow.
Michelle & The Paw Pack says
How cute are they!? They look like great models. The teddy bear costume is just too cute. I don’t think my own dogs would be quite as cooperative modeling something like that.
Trish says
Bean and Yoda are adorable! Yoda sounds like a fun addition to the family too. I absolutely love that photo of Yoda dressed up in the little fleecy bear outfit.
Rachel R Ritlop says
omg the bean merch is so cute haha!!! Dying at that face! too cute!
Holly says
Oh did I get a laugh out of the picture of yoda as a bear. I love the description of getting another dog because clearly you don’t have enough broken things. I have kittens for the same reason I guess lol
Lola The Rescued Cat says
We love Yoda and Bean, and of course Miss Bryn, too! We loved reading your spotlight on them.
Kamira says
LOL This is too cute. Clever idea for a business. The apparel merchandise is perfect gift ideas for dog moms and dads this season.
Sweet Purrfections says
I love seeing what type of photo Brynn will come up with next! They always make me smile.
Jana Rade says
OMG that costume photo! I used to love my plush bears; I would have REALLY loved this one 😉
Helen says
Bean and Yoda are too cute! I love this idea for an organization.
Alice G Patterson says
Great feature Beth! Bryn is as funny as her dogs are adorable. I’m also impressed with their generosity in donating to local animal rescues!
Dorothy "FiveSibesMom" says
Great feature on Bryn and her blog and pups! I love her sense of humor! I’d raise a glass and share a laugh with her any day!
Beth says
Thank you!
