Two pet dogs belonging to Galway senior hurling manager Henry Shefflin missing for almost a week have been found safe and well.
The 10-time former All-Ireland Kilkenny senior hurling champion had posted an appeal on Instagram last Thursday hoping the public could help locate the two St Bernard dogs.
The beloved pets hadn’t been seen since Wednesday of last week.
The dogs are Gus, aged six, and Bax, which is just 18 months old. The pair were last seen together at their home at about 8am on that Wednesday
The father-of-five, three boys and two girls, who divides his time between his native village of Ballyhale, Co Kilkenny and Galway revealed in his post: ‘My dogs are missing since early yesterday (Wednesday). If anyone sees them can you please let us know.’
Shefflin, 44, is married to wife Deirdre and their five children are Sadhbh, Henry Jnr, Siún, Freddie and Tom.
The popular family were reunited with the dogs within the last day after thousands of members of the public shared his appeal.
Shefflin has managed the Galway team for three years.
The public had been asked to contact Thomastown Garda Station on 056-7754150 if they had any information.
