WHAT IS IT about the Gardaí?

For some reason, they only ever seem to find the most photogenic-looking lost pets.

Of at least, they only ever Tweet about the cute ones.

Earlier this year, you might recall, the lads and ladies at Finglas Station had a great time looking after this particularly good-looking cat, which ‘just wouldn’t leave’ the station.

We’re not sure where they’re hiding all the cats and dogs who aren’t exactly Brad Pitt(bull)* material.

Bebo?

*Best pun we could come up with at short notice – minutes before clocking off. Apologies.
