Abi’s hug for pet dog after husky attack

Three-year old Abi O’Donoghue had a big kiss and hug for her own pet dog Blackie on arriving home from hospital.

Speaking yesterday, her father Cathal O’Donoghue described the happy return of his daughter to her family home at Ballynacally in west Clare four days after she was the victim of a vicious attack by a husky.

Mr O’Donoghue said that Abi had been inundated with presents and cards from neighbours and friends on leaving University College Hospital Galway.
