The Lazy Pug Café was a dilapidated old farmhouse abandoned years ago. A massive, ancient oak tree, Ol' Lightnin', lurked out back while the house itself served as a sad but charming reminder of days gone by.

Locals witnessing its resurrection were grateful someone was finally bringing the old girl back to life.
