Good Boy Jack!

An elderly man was taken to hospital last night after his dog was able to show Gardai where he was after he had fallen into a ditch.

The man was out walking near Portarlington in Laois when the incident happened.

Gardai have tweeted a picture of Jack the dog checking on his owner in the ambulance and wrote that he wouldn't rest until he could see him.

Man's best friend.
