Salmon instead of beer: Seal pup visits pub in New Zealand - Seal pup Fern strolls into a New Zealand pub—staff thought it was a dog
The seal’s arrival caught co-owner Bella Evans off guard. At first, she mistook the animal for a dog. But the confusion didn’t last long—Fern had found her way under the dishwasher.
Fern’s brief stay at Sprig + Fern The Meadows left a lasting mark. The pub’s quick thinking and the safe return of the seal to its natural habitat ensured a happy ending. Meanwhile, the back-to-back wildlife visits have given the venue a unique claim to fame.
