Irish pensioner overjoyed to be reunited with stolen dog found 50km away

The pup was found yesterday evening in the Ballyfermot area of Co Dublin and returned to his owner Sean, 85.

It comes after new figures from the Department of Justice showed that dognappings have soared by 50% in Ireland over the past two years.The figure for this year is set to surpass last year’s total again, with 120 dogs registered as stolen so far halfway through 2020. A spokesman for the Department of Justice said: “I understand that there is no specific code on PULSE for theft of animals.

“I’d urge people to take a look at that advice and take heed in particular to the chipping of pets where possible.
