Britain's booziest duck that became a celebrity for downing pints seriously injured - in a brawl with dog

Britain's booziest duck that became a celebrity for downing pints in his local pub was seriously injured - in a brawl with a dog.

The bird - called Star - became well known for waddling around his favourite inns wearing a bow tie and swigging ale from a glass. The booze-loving duck and his handler Barrie Hayman are a regular sight in their local taverns - some of which even give Star his own stool.

But things turned ugly for Star a few years ago after an altercation with a dog at his home. Star came to blows and lost out to pooch Meggie - which also belongs to Barrie.
