What do you get if you cross a good bottle of wine, a very cute dog and months of lockdown?
Soda Pup, the 11-year-old brindle boxer dog who’s spent the best part of this year melting hearts as he delivers wine, that’s what!
Yes, a service that sees a dog delivering wine has been launched in the States.
The dog’s owner, Lori Yata, owns the Stone House Urban Winery in Maryland and stumbled upon the idea of a dog delivery service early on during the pandemic.
She said Soda Pup happily filled the wine delivery position when coronavirus stay-at-home measures meant customers could no longer visit the vineyard.
He allows customers to continue purchasing wine while observing social distancing.

“We hope he got a good tip,” said one Soda Pup fan on a video of the pup on the vineyard’s Instagram account.
“OMG he is absolutely adorable,” said another.
Lockdown left Soda feeling “a little sad”
“After we could no longer have our guests come into the winery in a social setting, I noticed that Soda was looking a little sad,” she told Today.
