Dog-friendly pubs with open fires and log burners in the North East

After a cold, muddy walk there is nothing better than a pub with a real fire and a dog snoozing in front of it. Every pub here is dog friendly, and every fire is one the pub or CAMRA's pub guide mentions in writing. We never guess from photos. Most sources don't say whether dogs can sit in the same room as the fire, so where that isn't stated we say so.
