Copper Dipping Dogs
The thieves would dip the ‘dog’ into the barrel, filling it with whisky before replacing the bung.
They would then hang the long, cylindrical device down the inside of their trouser leg from a rope tied to their belt to avoid being caught.
The device was named ‘a dog’, because “it never leaves your side, and is a man’s best friend”.
