Things have hit a bum note with Queenstown's famous singing sheep dog.
Happy and his owner have been busking together in the resort for more than two and half decades. But an alleged gnarl up has led the council to classify Happy as a menacing dog, meaning he has to wear a muzzle at all times in public places.
Owner, Kim Turton, says it was a fleeting scuffle, that happened when another small dog was allowed to creep up on Happy from behnid startling him.
Kim speaks to Lisa Owen.
