Beer for dogs

A brewery in the Netherlands has created a beer - especially for dogs.Kwispelbier makes the special brew from a mix of beef extract and malt.

The beverage is the brainchild of pet shop owner Gerrie Berendsen from the eastern town of Zelhem.The beer is non-alcoholic and fit for human consumption, but costs four times as much as a Heineken.

Ms Berendsen said: "Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it."
