A beloved wolfdog that alarmed people after it was spotted running free through fields outside of Cork city has been found dead.
Axel, the Czech wolfdog from Rumley's Open Farm in Cork, was a mix between a German Shepherd and a Carpathian Grey Wolf. Axel broke out of his enclosure on Friday and despite concern from the public, owner Ivan Rumley allayed fears at the time, informing that the wolfdog is harmless.
While their pet was similar to a wolf in appearance and stature, they are highly intelligent and can be trained well. He asked that the public contact him if they saw Axel running around.
