The owners of a wolf-like animal spotted in fields outside Cork city have said the public in the area need not be concerned - but they would dearly like to get him back.
Ivan Rumley of the popular Rumley’s Farm on Liberty Hill in Waterfall says the animal is actually a Czech Wolfdog, a crossbreed between a German Shephard and a Carpathian Grey Wolf, bred in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s to act as border patrol and search and rescue dogs.
The call to help find the animal came after earlier reports that a wolf was on the lose in the area with people urged to keep their pets indoors.
