Adorable terrier found travelling solo on Kildare train to Dublin

ALL DOGS go to… Heuston apparently.

In what seems to be turning into a weird yet adorable trend, another dog was found travelling alone on a train to Dublin yesterday, 29 July.

He is the third pup to be found taking a solo trip by rail in recent months.

The unnamed terrier was initially believed to have boarded the train at Newbridge, and was cared for by staff at Heuston, Dublin’s central station, upon his arrival in the capital.

Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) posted a photo of the puppy-eyed cutie with the caption:
"Another lost dog on the Kildare line!!"

This little lad boarded this morning at Newbridge, but is being looked after by Heuston staff at present. Can we find his owners? 🐕 pic.twitter.com/eSgFzyhdBD

Now rail staff believe the adorable black-and-brown madra may have been found wandering around on the tracks in Kildare.

Either way, he succeeded in getting to Dublin for his holidays.

Iarnród Éireann made an appeal to find his owners on Twitter, causing the country to fondly remember the first solo-travelling canine to capture the nation’s hearts.

In April, a dog who the rail network named Hamish was found alone on a train to Dublin. After a campaign to find his family went viral, several different people came forward trying to claim him. Eventually he was returned to his rightful owner, who revealed that his name wasn’t Hamish but Tyson. Close enough.

“Hamish”, who commuted on the 08:46 Sallins - Heuston this morning, is currently being looked after at home by a staff member, but we are still looking for his owner. Sallins / Naas area, do you know someone who owns a dog like this? pic.twitter.com/aqAu5JO35e
