GARDAÍ IN TALLAGHT have reunited a lost husky with his owners after he went missing today.

Gardaí at the station had given him a nickname for the day that’s in it – Paddy, of course.

The young husky was handed in to the station this morning.

Gardaí said he appeared to be in good health and was wearing a collar at the time.

After spotting the appeal on TheJournal.ie, the owners contacted the garda station and have been reunited.
