Dog owners are being urged to take regular pictures of their pets by a warden in Meath where dog numbers in the pound have slumped by 43% since last year.

Alan Nolan is encouraging owners to take a lot of photographs of their dogs as a way of identifying them or alerting the public if they are lost or stolen.
