Missing dog spent five nights stuck in a Cork storm drain

The Cork family of four-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier ’Irek’ were devastated when he went missing last week, and after five days of looking they had almost given up hope.

Irek disappeared from the Cork suburb of Ballincollig last Tuesday around the area's GAA pitch.

Little did his family know that the poor pooch was enduring a remarkable battle for survival.
