The beloved pet dog of an elderly Ballylongford man who died while walking the bogs of his remote rural home last week remained huddled by his remains for two nights until his body was finally located.
The remains of 86-year-old Tom Shanahan were discovered less than a mile from the home in which he lived with just his terrier Suzie for company shortly before 10am on Wednesday last.
It s believed that Mr Shanahan had set out for his daily walk around the Graffa bog on Monday evening, after he was last seen by neighbour and friend John Fealey.
It was Mr Fealey who raised the alarm on Tuesday morning when he arrived to his neighbour s home - part of his daily routine - to find it empty.
It s not quite business as usual - that s not the case for anyone these days - but the message from Killarney s Franciscan Friars to their many friends in North Kerry is clear: We re still there to help.
Anyone seeking Mass Cards or requests for prayers can contact the Friary office, Brother Pat told The Kerryman this week as the office remains operational between 9.30am and 4pm from Monday to Saturday.
Whereas people may previously have been dropping in and collecting cards, the office is now working on a postal-only basis, however, and more information, he explained, can be obtained by phoning (064) 663 1334 or (064) 663 1066.
