Keep Bilbo on the Beach

Britain’s only lifeguard dog may be allowed to return to his beach after a public outcry in the wake of his sacking.

Hopefully Bilbo the lifeguard will be reinstated after a public campaign protesting his sacking last month from duties on a Cornwall beach.

Bilbo was sacked for trivial details such as the law which prohibits dogs from coming onto the beach and for his failure to pass the kiss of life test.

The sacking of the gallant guard, a 14-stone, 7 year old Newfoundland, sparked petitions and campaigns all over England to see Bilbo return to work.

Do you find this story of petty officialdom frightening? Even more frightening is the crowd of Bilbo supporters, as seen in the 2000+ Facebook group ‘Keep Bilbo on the beach’.
