Visually impaired UCC student issues heartfelt plea to save his dying guide dog

A visually impaired UCC student has issued a heartfelt plea to save his guide dog who is dying from cancer.

Dara Ó Cinnéide, who is studying arts in UCC, received the news that his companion Patsy has just a couple of months to live last week.

Vets believe they can give Patsy at least another two years of life if they perform surgery to remove the cancer which will cost €4,000, but Dara does not have pet insurance and now fears losing his pal.
