Carnoustie chip shop for sale as owner decides to retire
A fish and chip shop in Carnoustie is to be put on the market after its owner decided to retire. Colin Cooper has run Carnoustie Chippie on the High Street for more than 30 years. He told The Courier it is time to put his feet up and relax. Colin said: 'I've had the shop for 31 years, but I don't run it anymore. I have a manager and he is now of retirement age as well. 'The shop is going on the market due to him retiring and I am retiring too.' Colin moved to Carnoustie from London 45 years ago and owned a couple of businesses in the town before the Chippie. He said: 'It's been a privilege. At the time, there were only two fish and chip shops in Carnoustie. Local residents really took to us. 'We're situated next door to the Co-op. 'We have been in a very privileged position to have served residents at that end of Carnoustie.' Listings for the chip shop will become available on Monday. Colin hopes a new owner will be in place by August. He said: 'I'm pretty sure it will continue as a fish and chip shop. 'It will be up to the owners to decide to keep the name, that will be their choice. 'I'd like it to continue as a chippie because, for that end of Carnoustie, it's well needed without a doubt.' Customers have raved about the chip shop on Google, with one person calling it 'the best' in Carnoustie and Monifieth. Colin said: 'Being in the shop for 31 years, I consider it to be a long time. 'People have come from far and near. 'We were very popular when Carnoustie had The Open Championship last (in 2018). To celebrate we sold fried salmon which was really popular. 'We've been here a long time and we'll miss the people, who I know as regular customers. I hope they'll miss us too. 'I'm definitely going to be putting my feet up, so to speak.'

Moment Golden Retriever Realizes Sister Is in Trouble: 'I'll Never Let Go'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A golden retriever from California has melted hearts among social media users after a video of him rescuing his sister went viral on TikTok. In the moving clip, shared on Sunday under the username @gamjamypotato, Chippie can be seen rescuing his sister after realizing she was in trouble. Gamja, also a golden retriever, was hiding under the coffee table when she got stuck. As soon as he realized, Chippie immediately went to the rescue, trying to dig her out and grab her paw, as layover text in the clip reads: "I'll never let go." In the end, Chippie manages to successfully show his sister how to slowly back out of the narrow space, getting her out and back to safety. "Better than Jack and Rose," says the caption.

"She somehow always finds a way to tuck herself in, even if half of her body sticks out! Usually, she knows exactly how to wiggle out on her own, but this time... Chippie was standing by, ready to rescue his sister," Yuni said. While some dogs can form incredibly strong bonds with their fellow canines, others may not really enjoy other dogs' presence. But how can you tell the difference? According to leading dog-sitting website, Rover, when your pup loves another dog they will show four main signs that will give it away. First, they'll be wagging their tail when they're around them. They will also play games together like tug of war or roughhousing. Another big tell-tale sign is physical touch, like cuddling on the couch together. And last but not least, they'll just hang out together, purely because they enjoy each other's company. The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 355,600 views and 40,800 likes on the platform. One user, Adventures of Alfie and Maddie, commented: "Oh the kisses of reassurance at the end." Nikki J McFarlane Author said: "Rose would have said, sorry there's nothing I can do." Emmy Iggy added: "James Cameron can't compete with this. No way, no how." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
