'My diva dog loves Greggs so much - she protests if I don't give her sausage rolls'

Greggs is a popular bakery chain in the UK famous for its sausage rolls, but it turns out it doesn't just have fans among the humans.

One pastry-loving dog is such a big fan of the British bakery chain that she stages a protest every time her owner passes one.

Cara Ovens, who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, claims her golden retriever Lucie will demand sausage rolls by sitting down and dig her pawns into the pavement every time they go past one.

The 33-year-old first realised her five-year-old pooch was a fan of Greggs when the smell of the bakery would lure her to their doors during walks.

Lucie can even spot the iconic blue, white and yellow storefronts from across the street, and Cara is often forced to tempt the reluctant pooch with biscuits as she drags her away.

Production Assistant Cara said: "She's very persistent. She's quite strong. My magic word is biscuits. It's not as good as Greggs, but she does respond. They're a close second and she can't be having Greggs every day.

The dog owner managed to catch her furry friend in the act in a hilarious clip, where Lucie can be seen digging her claws in as she stares longingly at the bakery chain.

Cara explained that she didn't even know the Greggs was there until Lucie sat down and was "trying to tell me something".

She added: "Everyone's commenting on the video asking why I didn't get her a Greggs. I can't leave her outside a shop so she didn't get Greggs that day.

"I think she smells the pastry and that's what lures her in. It's all about the smells."

Lucie does get to indulge in a pastry or sausage roll every couple of weeks as a treat, but if it was up to the pooch she would be having it all the time.

Cara added: "Lucie loves Greggs. She's possibly Greggs' top dog fan.

"Whenever we're on a walk with my partner we'll go in and grab something.

"She loves the smell and gets a little treat every couple of weeks - whether it be a bit of pastry or sausage. I'm a responsible dog owner and I'm not shovelling Greggs down her throat.

"Quite often I don't know [the Greggs is] there until she sits down and does that thing where she refuses to move.

"She can be a diva and she does protest for other reasons too. She doesn't stop outside any other shop."

Greggs were contacted for comment.
