Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney was ordered to clean up after his dog after he Let it Wee in a hotel.

Wings drummer Denny Seiwell, 79, recalls how Macca was handed a bucket by an angry hotel worker after his Dalmatian, Lucky, had a little accident while the band were on the road.

In The McCartney Legacy – a book about Sir Paul’s life after The Beatles had split – Denny says: “In York, there was a night desk clerk by the name of Cyril. He wasn’t all there.

“We were all hanging out in this little room and he comes up with a sand bucket, like a kid’s sand pail. He says, ‘One of you chaps own that black-and-white spotted dog?’

“Paul says, ‘Oh yeah, that’s Lucky. He’s mine’. He says, ‘Well, he s*** in the hallway… you’re gonna have to clean it up’.”

Macca has form for his animals behaving badly. He recently revealed how in 1977 his pony, Jet, pooped on the Abbey Road zebra crossing.

Sir Paul, 80, said his daughter Mary, who would have been around eight at the time, had begged him to let her take Jet on the short walk to Abbey Road Studios, near the McCartney family home in St John’s Wood.

But the pony left a mess on the famous crossing, which featured on the cover of The Beatles’ Abbey Road album.

Sir Paul told The Times last week: “We lived close by and we had this little pony called Jet. We were coming over here [to the Abbey Road Studios] to do something and Mary brought Jet. He ‘did’ the zebra crossing. I think he disgraced himself on it.”
