A dog has been put up for sale after leaving his owner barking mad by eating his tickets for Newcastle’s first cup final in 24 years.
Alan Carling returned home to find his pet, Rudy, had dished out the ruff justice after the tickets came through the letterbox. His letter chewing came at a particularly bad time, after Alan had come back from watching Newcastle surrender their unbeaten home record against Liverpool on Saturday night.
Eddie Howe’s side were beaten 2-0 at St James’ Park after early goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo. Things then went from bad to worse for the Magpies, who had goalkeeper Nick Pope sent off for a deliberate handball outside his area, meaning he will miss the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United on Sunday.
