Local British Celebrity Duck Gets Into A Brawl With A Dog. (We Not Making This Up)

So this is actually a real story...

Britians "booziest duck" that became a celebrity for downing pints in his local pub has been seriously injured - in a brawl with a DOG.

The bird - called Star - is well known for waddling around his favourite inns wearing a bow tie and swigging ale from a glass.

Star and his handler Barrie Hayman are a regular sight in their local taverns - some of which even give Star his own stool.

But Star's drinking days could be over after an altercation with a dog Meggie - who also belongs to owner Barrie...

Leaving Star with beak split down the middle.

Barrie said: "He had to be rushed to the vets and go under anaesthetic, which is always risky and could go either way with ducks and other small animals.

"Thankfully our Star is a tough cookie and it looks like he came out okay, not sure we came out quite as well."

Barrie was concerned the injury would leave Star with a lisp that would put his performance career in jeopardy - as the duo regularly team up to raise hundreds of pounds for charity with their unique street double act.

He said: "He just won't leave me and so we go everywhere together. I've not trained him to follow me. He just seems to like it and he is one fantastic duck."

"He loves to come to the pub, where everyone loves him. He is such a personality and attracts so much attention."

Star even has his own Facebook page under the name Star Hayman.
