Irish Rail has issued an appeal online for the owners of a dog who stowed away on a train from Laois to the Big Smoke.
The tiny black and brown pup hopped on a evening train at Portlaoise Station, bound for Dublin, on Friday evening, April 12.
Is this your dog? Last night, this sweet dog embarked on the 19:25 Portlaoise to Heuston service and is being cared for by our staff from Heuston Station until we find its owner. #lostdog -AB pic.twitter.com/x6NVekZJQ8
