Irish Rail appeal to find owner of adorable dog who boarded train from Maynooth to Dublin

Irish Rail are looking for the owner of an adorable dog that boarded an early-morning train in Co Kildare.

The canine joined hundreds of passengers on board the train at Maynooth heading for Dublin Connolly early this morning.

An Irish Rail spokesman wrote on Twitter: "Lots of customers reporting this friendly commuter boarded the train at Maynooth this morning at 07.30hrs, and is now en route to Dublin Connolly - if you’re living in Maynooth and missing your dog, let us know!"

It is the latest in a series of rogue dog incidents on Irish trains.

In July an adorable pooch became the third in a number of months to have wandered on to a train without their owner, this time on the Newbridge to Heuston route.

Hamish was the first travelling dog to make headlines back in April when he was spotted on a train to Heuston Station.

After a nationwide appeal his family were eventually tracked down in Sallins, where the intrepid animal first boarded the train.
