THE TRUE STORY (MORE OR LESS) OF THE OLDE BLIND DOG
Not so very long ago in the green hills of Ireland a young pup named Caden (meaning Spirited Warrior) shared a cottage with his master, Sean. Each day, the little white bulldog would rise before sun up and accompany Sean as he tended to his sheep.
At the end of each day, Caden would faithfully follow Sean to their favorite pub. The dog would sit under the bar patiently while Sean enjoyed a pint (or two or three), and traded stories with the locals.
Legend has it that late one night as they made their way home, they were suddenly attacked by a pack of wolves. Without hesitation, Caden bared his teeth and the fur flew. Although outnumbered, he fought off the pack and sent them howling into the canyons below. Bloodied and bruised, they arrived home only to discover a wound to one eye eventually would cause blindness.
Word spread like wildfire. Caden had rid the village of wolves, like St. Patrick had rid Ireland of snakes. He became a hero overnight. Glasses of stout were lifted and songs were sung in his honor.
After that night, when it was time to head to the pub, Sean would say, “C’mon old blind dog, let’s have a pint.”
As time went on, Sean looked far and wide to find an easier life for him and his faithful dog. They found the perfect place – no sheep, no wolves, but green as Irish pasture. And that place was Milton, Georgia.
Moved by the story of the legendary dog, a few local friends decided to bring a wee bit of Ireland to this side of the pond. They established an authentic Celtic pub in the heart of Crabapple and named it in his honor.
