A remarkable thing has happened a little Limerick terrier in recent days. And no I'm not talking about any Limerick hurlers, although they are like terriers on the field.

A black and tan terrier who goes by the name of Toby has won himself a brand new John Deere tractor worth €100,000. And that’s the dog’s honest truth... Sorry, I mean the God’s honest truth.
Toby’s owner, Patsy Dalton from Galbally in Co Limerick, put the dog’s name down on a ticket for a draw organised by Clough Community Vision Committee at Hennessy’s Auction in Portlaoise two weeks ago. I’m told the tickets were going around in his work pants all week, not thinking anything of winning.
Patsy and his wife Philomena were at a local wedding when they got the good news late on St Patrick’s night. They were so delighted they couldn’t even stay for the slice of wedding cake.

I’m also aware that there are a number of these tractors being auctioned in similar fashion around the country at the minute. No doubt after this news breaks, there’ll be a spate of Sheps, Nells and Princes going around in work trousers across the country.
