Gardaí are investigating the theft of a dog from a cattle-box on Wednesday in Kilkenny.
The farm dog was a black and white Border Collie and was taken from the cattle-box that was parked on farmland at Pollagh, Skeoughvosteen.
Not only was the dog stolen, but it was also replaced with a similar-looking dog.
Speaking to members of An Garda Síochána, Beat News asked if it's a common occurrence where stolen animals would be replaced and Gardaí say as far as they are aware it's not something that's usually done.
