An appeal has been made to locate the owner of a large, black dog found walking alone in the Rathcormac area last week.
The female dog was discovered staggering along the road between Rathcormac and Watergrasshil and was picked up by a concerned passer-by who brought the animal home with her.
The dog’s owner is yet to be located despite efforts to find her through an online campaign.
The dog is described as ‘old and slow moving’ with arthritis in its front two knees, believed to be getting worse without the dog’s regular medication. The animal has a gentle disposition, loves children and is evidently missing someone.
If you have any information about the dog or its owner, please contact The Avondhu on 025-32227.
