PARTING SHOT

There was a happy ending for this young hare (a leveret to you and me) after it was saved from the snow by an airport police member at Dublin Airport. It’s expected to make a full recovery.

A special rescue this morning by one of our Airport Police. This little fella was taken to safety & given food and heat. We’re happy to report he’s safe and well. #BeastFromTheEast #Snow #BabyRabbit pic.twitter.com/uyP78y5BOH
