Although the official Garda Twitter account is full of cautionary messages for the public, what one might expect from a national police force, they do drop a feel good story everyone once in a while! While out walking his dog, an elderly man fell and rolled into a ditch on the side of the road.
Unable to get himself out, the man’s dog Jack became concerned but refused to leave the owners side.
When emergency responders showed up Jack ran to them and guided them to his owners location. Even after they got the man out of the ditch and transported him to a local hospital to make sure he was okay, Jack did not leave his owners side!
Man's best friend.
