Pic: We hope someone can help this Kerryman's search – this is truly heart-breaking stuff

Can you help a fellow Irishman in his time of need?

This truly heart-breaking appeal, which was published in today's edition of the Sunday Independent, was sent into us by JOE reader Breda Mc Loughlin and we hope beyond hope that someone can help this poor guy out.

The man in question lost his beloved collie-mix, called Sona, in Kerry back in October and he says, "There is nothing I won't give or trade to get her back".

You can, and should, read the entire appeal by clicking the image below, or by picking up a copy of today's Sunday Independent.

Big thanks to Breda Mc Loughlin for sending this our way
