Meet Yogi. Not the food-obsessed bear from Jellystone Park, but the resident Alsatian at the Star&Garter pub in Soho.
I met Yogi, as he was relaxing, cool as a cucumber, in front of the Star&Garter in Poland Street. Yogi is a 3 year old Alsatian with a bit of media career. He modelled for a dog and cat cartoon for Nikolodeon and it doesn't suprise me, as he is a stunning dog. He has a beautiful, multi-coloured fluffy coat, carefully groomed every day by his owner to keep it smooth and silky.
He has an uber-cool air about him, like a real Soho-ite, and he posed beautifully, with the indifferent air of a real professional. His owner told me that Yogi often lies right across the threshold of the entrance to the Star&Garter. Who needs bouncers when you have an Alsatian at the door!
Alsatians, also known as German Shepherds, are working dogs, often used as guard, military, search and guide dogs because of their intelligence, ability to focus easily and capacity for learning. They also make wonderful pets and companions.
