Three-year-old “Spock” the Labrador went missing from his home last Wednesday with his owner Stephen Burns contacting Dundalk FM to issue an appeal for information.

Thankfully it was heard by two ladies, who helped reunite Spock with his owner.

A happy ending all round!

Local dog earns thousands of YouTube hits for version of Ave Maria

A local dog has earned thousands of YouTube hits after being recorded singing along to Ave Maria while looking at the Hangover 3 movie.

Gerry and Caroline Dillon from Dundalk were watching Alan’s unique rendition of the hymn when their golden pooch Holly’s ear pricked up.

Instead of giving a short bark when it heard the song, the labrador decided to mimic the sound.

The crafty canine found the source of the sound before walking to the TV and beginning a long howl of its own.

Gerry told The Irish Daily Mirror they had never heard Holly howl like it before.
