Story

A sheep dog trial of a rather unusual kind – the 'sheep' are in fact a group of 'mates' and the obstacles the highly skilled dog needs to herd them past include a sofa/TV combo, an Indian restaurant and some girls on a dance floor - the usual Saturday night distractions that threaten to come between a man and his mates. The final 'pen' destination is the pub where pints of Guinness await them. 

Concept

Get your mates together for a Guinness this St Patrick’s Day
