THIS IS JASPER, the King Charles Spaniel from Glinsk, Co Galway with a taste for puffing on a pipe.

His owner Padraic Sirr was a pipe smoker for 40 years – and 18-month-old Jasper always has to join him:

The dog has been copying me since he was a small pup and even though there’s nothing in the pipe I give him, he loves holding it in his mouth.

Sirr told the Irish Examiner that he had to give up smoking recently after being diagnosed with diabetes, but Jasper can still enjoy his.

He gets fierce excited when I ask him where his pipe is and will jump up to the drawer on the dresser where we keep it, as he knows well where it is.

“He probably won’t understand why I’m not doing it anymore but I doubt that will bother him as he’s never happier than when he has a pipe in his mouth,” said Sirr.

Stop. STOP. This is all a bit too much.
