A heartbroken Dublin woman has issued a plea for help to find her beloved dog after he went missing last week.
Aoife Connolly fears her pet dog, Koba, may have been snatched mere minutes after her mum left the house in Michael Collins Park, Clondalkin on Thursday morning. She told Dublin Live: "My mum was home at 11.25 am to get her bank card and she left. He was out in our back garden then.
"I think he went missing at 11.30am. Myself and my brother were home an hour later at 12.30pm and the gate was broken.
