Plot Bunny: Lost Dog, Twitter & a Commuter Train

[3113]

Cute little story from here:

DUBLIN (AP) - When Patch hopped aboard the train to Dublin, it took the power of Twitter to reunite the dog with his owner.

Irish Rail sent a "Lost dog!" tweet with a photo attachment after the Jack Russell terrier arrived with Wednesday morning commuters on a train from rural Kilcock, County Kildare, an hour's ride away. After more than 500 retweets in just 32 minutes, the photo found Patch's owner, Deirdre Anglin, who tweeted the state railway: "That's my dog!"

I like this story, though I can't help but feel sorry for Patch. He was obviously trying to get away, have an adventure, and the darn, mobile-friendly-social-media put an end to it all. He only got a single night of freedom and fun before he was shipped back home.
