Baywatch Bilbo Banned
Horst Hoefinger

Bilbo wasn’t really on Baywatch, but he does save lives.  He also isn’t human, he’s is an 198 lb. Newfoundland and is the only lifeguard dog in Britain.

Due to a new ban, Bilbo’s job has been terminated. Being the smart boy that he is, he’s made a video to try and convince Gordon Brown to give him back his job.

The only lifeguard dog in Britain is starring in a video appeal to Gordon Brown to get his job back.

Bilbo, a 90kg (14stone) Newfoundland, was banned from his beach and is in a short, Baywatch-style film sent to No. 10.

A Facebook group has also been set up for the dog, which has helped rescue dozens of people.

Good luck Bilbo, we’re rooting for you.
